But isn't it the case that we can't reach this safeguard with the current architecture? I remember Karpathy making an interesting point 2 years (cca) back, that I would summarize somehow like this: the mechanics behind every LLM answer are the same, what you then call hallucination is more or less a consequence of whether or not the answer was factually correct/useful.

Which would mean, as is so often the case, that the "killer feature" of the LLMs is also its biggest weakness and the two can't be disentangled. Now, we are inventive creatures and we might come up with a remedy for these issues, but what you basically see so far is more guardrails, the use of harnesses and building a whole bunch of infrastructure around the LLMs to get useful work out of them.

Which, btw is not a critique, I do it as well and it's a fun engineering challenge.
