From a _consultancy_ it feels a bit on the nose. Do you have a system that's mostly working at the moment? We'll migrate that at huge cost to something else (for little upside, but it'll get sold in really well to senior mana

I think your point is a little black-and-white — there's tons of behaviour that sits in the "technical possible but frowned upon" bucket. It's like people listening to music without any headphones on the train — technica

I'm talking about the scenario the GP referenced — where if you search for say "holiday" but get no results because the pages only use the word "vacation" which AFAIK is still a problem in regular search. LLMs inher
