Can't do much about the downvote parade, but I can second this. That said, when the models are not provided the right context, and cannot fetch it for themselves, things can be rocky still. A lot less so than even just a few months ago though.
"hallucinating less" is just shifting the goal posts into vagueness. Things can be rocky still = nothing fundamentally changed. Meanwhile, if I search my file system for "foo" a trillion gazillion times, it will not return "bar" once.
If a game on release is unplayable-tier buggy, then improves over time to the point where bugs are barely noticeable, is acknowledging that going to count as "goalpost moving" to you? It never became formally verified after all, and it's even running on physical hardware... Woe are the people lying to me (nobody), the issues have not been fundamentally ruled out!

Great! Nor will an agent any more likely, cause it just sends out a tool call and surfaces its output.
It boggles the mind. One would think this is some highly secretive technology only a dozen people in the world have access to, the way one has to argue tooth and nail about trivially verifiable facts regarding it. You quite literally do not have to take either of our words or "vague" judgement for it.

if someone says "this hame is buggy" talking about how it might improve is moving goal posts, especially here where that "fix" is purely speculative and has not happened even once.

nope, that's so handwavy it doesn't wareant more response than that.
> trivially verifiable facts
like that game gets patches? this is too dumb for your mockery to get a rise out of me.

Hahaha, I love this. The people on HN are living in some kind of bizarro world where AI is totally useless and also I guess only tried it in 2022 or something.
