The goal is to make its limitations understandable and manageable.</p> <p>I’m curious how other developers approach this, especially when AI outputs become part of the user’s workflow rather than just a response in a dialogue.</p> <p>What AI error-handling pattern do you find particularly effective?</p> ai design llm ux
