Maybe I'm old but where exactly are the "dragons"?
How is RAG any different from the search systems we've been building before LLMs? Is it the sudden need for everyone to design a search API and engine that's driven this trend?
If so, I'd like to see more design patterns around existing search problems:
- Correcting or backtracking based on feedback.
- Measuring relevance.
- Comparison with task-based pre-written queries. Does every LLM task need a full blown search engine? Why not a tightly scoped domain API for data retrieval?
