alt Hacker NewsOnly if someone is planning on running a pinned self hosted version of an LLM alongside the DB to fix the problem. The developer can change the binary easy enough and test it but the LLM approach just seems either theoretical or bending ourselves in knots to justify using an LLM.
I didn't argue that it'd make sense, I just said that it could be reasonably fixable when problems occur and verifyable that the fix works. Even if shipping and RLing an LLM were easy tasks in terms of software distribution (they are not) we'd still hit the skill mismatch, as I said in my previous comment.
I just find the "all llms are non dererministic and therefore unreliable" narrative a bit backwards. All software that has more than 0 users needs to deal with non-determinism anyway :)
