People miss the "hidden bit of the iceberg" when dismissing gen AI, or making claims that the hype is over. It's just getting started, indeed. Anyone who did data work in big, boring enterprises knows the staggering amount of dark, unstructured data they have. Free-form text input, chat/phone conversations, but also plain old documents (pdf scans, PowerPoint files, anything). Have a LLM interpret what is there and you turn this unstructured mess into data with a clear schema that can go into a relational database for further processing or summarization. LLMs are groundbreaking for this kind of automated data structuring. And many use cases don't need perfect accuracy; detecting trends or summarizing at a high level is good enough for inputs to downstream process mining tasks.
