and get the right answer?
Or do you use Oracle to ask an LLM to do some sentiment analysis and put the sentiment analysis answer into Oracle, if you see what I mean?
Do you put the LLM code where do you put the deterministic stuff and where do you put the probabilistic stuff?
And it's kind of super important as you look at this to understand that like
The fact that it's the error rate isn't some kind of deal killer.
This system is probabilistic rather than deterministic, and that allows it to solve a broad class of stuff that you just couldn't solve at all with determin with deterministic systems.
But it also means it's probabilistic.
And so you have to understand it's not Oracle.
And this is you know, it's kind of if you if you look at these things and say, you know, does it produce the right answer every time?
Well then it's useless.
It's kind of like looking at like a PC in nineteen eighty and saying, Does it have the same uptime as a mainframe?
Or, you know, like looking at the web in ninety five and saying, Well, could you build you know, could you build AutoCAD in in in in Netscape one?
And well, no.
But that's not really the point.
It does something else.
And maybe in 10 or 20 years' time it'll come back and be able to do that.
And yeah, yeah, people do build CAD in the web now, on web browsers now.
But like that wasn't why it was useful.
And so there's but the but but what I'm kind of circling around is like you can't just kind of hand wave away the fact that these things are wrong sometimes.
And you have to think about what you do with that and what products that means you can and can't build with it.
