Section 1
The premise
Structured generation lies sometimes; AI scaffolds a validation layer that catches and recovers from drift.
What AI does well here
- Draft validation schemas for common output shapes
- Suggest retry strategies on validation failure
- Format a fallback shape policy
What AI cannot do
- Guarantee semantic correctness, only structural
- Recover from a model that fundamentally misunderstands
