What baffles me is why would you use an LLM when what you need is a digital inventory manager. Not bashing your argument's merits. On the contrary, I think it depicts very well how people will shove AI-marketed shit on already-solved problems and make everyone's lives worse because it's ✨modern✨.
It's the same crap like with blockchain.
People have no idea how sophisticated modern IT systems already are, and if you glue fancy words on solved problems, people will cheer you for being super innovative.
Ugh, blockchain. During the pandemic, I had absolutely no work to do so my boss asked me to make a presentation for him to present on the merits of blockchain. When my response was that it's overhyped bullshit, he was not thrilled.
I made the requested presentation but it made me feel dirty, so I alt texted every slide's graphics to include the counterpoint to the bullshit benefits being presented.
My company tried to jump onto the bandwagon in 2018 or so, but it fizzled out very quickly. Fortunately.
It's not if you actually know what it is and what it's for... A trustless public ledger.
