Have built many pipelines integrating LLMs to drive real $ results. I think this article boils it down too simply. But i always remember, if the LLM is the most interesting part of your work, something is severely wrong and you probably aren’t adding much value. Context management based on some aspects of your input is where LLMs get good, but you need to do lots of experimentation to tune something. Most cases i have seen are about developing one pipeline to fit 100s of extremely different cases; LLM does not solve this problem but basically serves as an approximator for you to discretize previously large problems in to some information sub space where you can treat the infinite set of inputs as something you know. LLMs are like a lasso (and a better/worse one than traditional lassos depending on use case) but once you get your catch you still need to process it, deal with it progammatically to solve some greater problem. I hate how so many LLM related articles/comments say “ai is useless throw it away dont use it” or “ai is the future if we dont do it now we’re doomed lets integrate it everywhere it can solve all our problems” like can anyone pick a happy medium? Maybe thats what being in a bubble looks like
