Namely that LLM-type AI has taken over and hence AI must be really great and valuable and the future and whatnot.

The truth looks a bit different. LLMs are still incapable as hell and will continue to hallucinate, because there is no way to fix that. Keeping LLMs updated gets harder and harder due to AI slop. Nobody is making any profits on LLMs, these things just burn money like crazy. And there are very few somewhat working use-cases and these come with really big caveats.

No, they cannot. LLMs cannot do logical reasoning and that is a requirement for any type of fact-checking or verification. All they can do is correlations and that is not enough.

While using non-LLM AI or non-AI tools is a possibility for fact-checking (in simple cases as the one here), you overlook that basically the only advantage of LLMs is that they are comparatively easy to create. Creating these "other tools" that would be needed here would be a lot more expensive and a lot more work than creating general LLMs. And hence, for most cases, these "other tools" do not exist.

I do not "think so". I am just referring to research results. You, on the other hand, have nothing. LLMs cannot fact-check, period.

Robotics just uses the fact that you can train whatever you use pretty well and you can use _other_ systems there to install guardrails and these other systems come with physics models and can do (limited) fact checking in there. These other systems are not LLMs though. LLMs cannot fact-check in robotics either.

They just keep adding more requirements which bloat the base install. This is the opposite of the right direction.

Indeed. KISS is the basis of all solid engineering and complexity is the death of it. I do not think the people at the wheel are aware of that. Probably a lack of experience and insight, which would be bad on a whole other level.
