> Also why does it need to be an LLM that is doing these things?
Well, if you ask me it's pretty clear why: we are in the hype cycle of a very specific new type of hammers, so, of course everything must be nails. Another one is that our understanding of LLMs is limited, which makes them limitless and constantly shape/purpose-shifting for those whose job it is to sell them to us. As an Engineer, I don't know what to do with them: they have no "datasheet" describing their field and range of applicability, and I feel there are many of us annoyed and tired of being constantly pulled into discussions about how to use them at all cost.
