No, it doesn't "solve" the unpredictability problem.
But we haven't solved it for human beings either.
Human brains are unpredictable. Look around you.

As it was mentioned by others, we've had thousands of years to better understand how humans can fail. LLMs are black boxes and it never ceases to amaze me how they can fail in such unpredictable ways. Take the following for examples.
Here GPT-4o mini is asked to calculate 2+3+5
https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=8707acda-e6d4-4f69-9c09-2cff...
It gets the answer correct, but if you ask it to verify its own answer
https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=6d8af370-1ae6-4a36-961d-2902...
it says the response was wrong, and contradicts itself. Now if you ask it to compare all the responses
https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=1c162c40-47ea-419d-af7a-a30a...
it correctly identifies that GPT-4o mini was incorrect.
It is this unpredictable nature that makes LLM insanely powerful and scary.
Note: The chat on the beta site doesn't work.
While individual human beings do trust some of the other human beings they know, in the aggregate society doesn't seem to trust human beings to behave reliably.
It's possible, though I don't know for sure, that we're going to need systems and processes to cope with the unpredictability of AI systems.
