Thank you for calling that out. I'm well aware, but appreciate your cautioning.
I've seen hallucinations from LLMs at home and at work (where I've literally had them transcribe dates like this). They're still absolutely worth it for their ability to handle unstructured data and the speed of iteration you get -- whether they "understand" the task or not.
I know to check my (its) work when it matters, and I can add guard rails and selectively make parts of the process more robust later if need be.
