I feel like an insane person everytime I look at the LLM development space and see what the state of the art is.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the standard way to get structured output seems to be to retry the query until the stochastic language model produces expected output. RAG also seems like a hilariously thin wrapper over traditional search systems, and it still might hallucinate in that tiny distance between the search result and the user. Like we're talking about writing sentences and coaching what amounts to an auto complete system to magically give us something we want. How is this industry getting hundreds of billions of dollars in investment?

Also the error rate is about 5-10% according to this article. That's pretty bad!
