Re:Has LLM killed traditional NLP?

What NLP approaches are you using to solve the "is '20 bottles of ferric chloride' a service or a product?" problem?

How about a naive Bayesian Bag of Words? Just find/scrape/generate with an LLM a large enough corpus of products/services, build the term frequency matrix, calculate class priors and P(term|class) and inference with straightforward application of Bayes theorem.
This particular problem, at least to me, seems trivial, and to use an LLM for anything like this for more than a hundred cases seems incredibly wasteful.
