You don't have to do this? Maybe someone is making you, but it's literally possible to just stop using LLMs for purposes where they fail reliably.

I'm also not sure what the point of the keto story is. Are you saying the Polio Vaccine does not work?

If this drug does not work, there are plenty of others that are not fully 100% working. This was a mindset of a doctor. In case of baby with epilepsy it may cost her a life.

The situation was much like we have with LLMs. "It does not work" - "You are using an inferior thing, here are more advanced."

What is the cost of these not fully 100% working things?
