However, the error rate is non-linear. Especially when a query (prompt, to use the lingo) involves context switching. The results are often little more than a word salad.

Generative AI is incapable of chewing gum and walking at the same time and probably never will be. Sure, there’s methods of mitigation, but they all involve HITL (Human In The Loop). The captains of industry are going to balk at having numerous humans prompting the AI systems when they could be out building real world buildings.
