Reliability has always been an essential factor of a commercial product. "It works" was the baseline. If it didn't, people simply won't buy it.

Never before we had a product that the buyer themselves accepted, so readily, despite the inaccuracies and yet the output was considered worth it just because when it worked, it was great.

Well maybe, other than dice but then it's unpredictability is why we bought it.

But then the quality of LLM output is also closer to dice roll so maybe they are not that dissimilar after all.
