Agentic query rewrite on top of good old fashioned Lucene is the end game. This is effectively providing a lot of the same magic you get with the semantic approach. Allowing the agent to query the document store iteratively is where the capabilities become unbounded.

Embeddings and semantic search add non determinism on top of non determinism. This seems fundamentally cursed. Lexical is much easier to control, iterate and debug. The tools are incredibly mature. Your users will probably prefer it as well.

An LLM wrote this comment, no? I'm curious your motivation for having an LLM write such a short comment instead of writing it yourself?

I've not seen such a clipped cadence out of an LLM. I would not automatically suspect the GP. Maybe there's better ways to spend your time?

Maybe people are just learning to write in that style LLMs learned to write from statistical people? "is where the capabilities become unbounded" is a weird thing to say and not really true. "is the end game", "add non determinism on top of non determinism", there are a lot of AI-isms in this short comment. But it's possible people are just learning to write this way now, I am curious if that's so too!

As far as uses of time, you are engaging in this dialog too, if you find it not a good way to spend time I recommend ceasing!
