This is a trivial problem you can solve in a hundred lines in any programming language, you don't need AI.

It's also something you can do manually with a few admin people, or perhaps using a COBOL script. Innovation means we'll have different ways of doing the same thing.

No, innovation means a better way, not a different way.

There's no innovation in doing a job that a script can do just fine in a few milliseconds on a GameBoy color, with an AI that needs hundreds of GPUs costing a grand a pop and will take a minute to return an approximate answer.

This is probably true (and I agree in this case it would be better for a tool like this). What I like about the idea of LLMs is that you won't need to write a couple hundred line program to parse something, you can just describe what you want. And I don't need to wait for someone to write a tool exactly suited for my usecase.
