    LLMs in itself don’t do much because they’re inconsistent, they lack clarity and data structure. But, on the other hand, classical (deterministic) software has always been rigid, stiff, inflexible. I think it’s like a human, the deterministic software is the skeleton (bones), the LLMs are the muscles.

    Just like a muscle would not at all stand without a bone and would collapse immediately, so are LLMs extremely useless in themselves because they have no consistency. However, i think that if you combine classical software with LLMs, you can arrive at better results than in any other way. It’s like adding a muscle and a bone together to make a functioning system.

      I’m not sure I understand. Inconsistent input to a rigid program gives inconsistent output. Consistent input to an LLM gives inconsistent result.

      I’m a programmer. Can you tell me the specification of what you want the rigid classical software to do?

        provide databases for structured knowledge, mostly.
