No. I also wouldn’t use a hammer to cut a board in half - I’d grab a saw. Knowing how to pick the right tool is a fundamental part of being a good engineer.

Sure, though the marketing around LLMs is aimed at general purpose use. It’s up to the user to decide if it’s actually useful for their use case. Unfortunately, many use cases in business can’t tolerate high error rates.
Would you trust an AI that gets your banking transactions right only 70% of the time?
