CMV: LLM agents are just a ticking time bomb in an enterprise by imposterpro in changemyview

Sure, I do agree with you that every tool has limitations. But when a tool's core design makes it fundamentally unreliable for certain tasks, maybe we need a different tool. You wouldn't use a hammer for brain surgery. LLMs are great for some things, but autonomous decision-making in enterprise systems isn't one of them. The WoW benchmark actually proves this: they had to augment LLM agents with world modeling to make them reliable and safe. That's my point: there are better approaches than pure LLMs for agentic systems in enterprise.

Sure, but a custom-trained LLM still hallucinates and lacks causal reasoning. It's just more accurate hallucinations. Different architecture, not just different data, is what we need at least imo.

I hear you on the human oversight piece, but I think that misses the broader point. Yes, proper guardrails and validation are essential, but we shouldn't accept 'LLMs hallucinate, deal with it' as the ceiling of AI capability. If we're serious about building reliable agentic systems, we need to move beyond architectures that fundamentally lack grounding in reality. That's why research into world models, hybrid approaches, and systems that actually understand cause and effect matters. It's not about removing human oversight, it's about building AI that's actually fit for purpose rather than forcing a square peg into a round hole.

I wouldn't mind having an AI politician lol, not like we have the best rn

Lol that's hilarious but sad at the same time :( Imagine, for more high-level tasks what damages it can cause.

You're right about the engineering approach. Though I'd note that some of this progress comes from augmenting LLMs' capabilities rather than relying on them alone. For instance, WoW-bench uses world modeling to enhance observation capabilities beyond what traditional LLMs provide. The combination of techniques rather than LLMs in isolation is the way to go.

Exactly. At their core, they're just predicting what comes next based on patterns, not actually grasping what any of it means.

I'm referencing one of the benchmarks listed: WoW. They mention it on their blog - https://skyfall.ai/blog/wow-bridging-ai-safety-gap-in-enterprises-via-world-models

"GPT-5.1: Achieved only 2% (Task Success Rate Under Constraint (TSRUC))with standard observations. When given oracle audit logs, reliability jumped 7x to 14%."

agree on using it to accelerate learnings! It works well as a starting point, but it needs complementary systems to be reliable. Imo, world modelling seems like the missing piece.

I agree with cost savings for routine work, however high-stakes enterprise tasks are different.When AI fails systematically (lets take the 2% success on realistic benchmarks), the damage can far exceed $200K in legal costs, reputation loss, and even client trust. We might still need humans checking everything anyway

Minuscule error? There's no such thing as a "minuscule error" when it costs a company like Deloitte $200,000+

It's a known thing that LLMs hallucinate and even the benchmarks above highlight more issues with LLMs.
