[2606.11058] The social consequences of AI delegation — Worth a look if you’re thinking about what happens when people hand off decisions to AI systems: it focuses on the social and organizational side effects, not just accuracy or efficiency.… arxiv.org/abs/2606.11058
Failure mode #3: Explainability
Vector RAG: "Here's a relevant chunk."
Graph RAG: "Here's the exact chain of entities and relations that led to this answer."
The real unlock is structured output.
With Pydantic an LLM, you get:
👉 Parse messy input
👉 Return a typed Python object
👉 Plug it into any downstream system
Suddenly "unpredictable LLM output" becomes a non-issue in production.
I'm teaching exactly this in a live workshop on July 8th.
We build extraction pipelines, RAG systems, and multi-agent workflows with LangChain CrewAI.

Just announced: I'm teaching a live hands-on Graph RAG workshop on July 11.
You'll build a knowledge graph chatbot from scratch: raw text → entity extraction → graph → grounded LLM answers.
Tools: spaCy, REBEL, fastcoref, NetworkX.
Teaching a live 4-hour workshop July 8: build real LLM automations with LangChain, CrewAI, RAG, and Gemini. Hands-on, we write code together. For Python devs ready to go beyond the chatbot demo.
