One of my former coworkers at Rad AI always used to joke that most problems people try to solve with AI could be solved better with simple linear regression, and I really do think that input was one of the reasons why that company is doing so well right now. When you're trying to build a product you need to look at the best tools to solve the problems you're working on. Sometimes that truly is an LLM, and other times it isn't. Throwing a technology into things just because it's the cool thing to do at the moment is almost always a mistake though.
