I wonder about these takes. Have you never worked in a complex system in a large org before?
OK, sure, we can parse a PDF reliably now, but now we need to act on that data. We need to store it, make sure it ends up with the right people who need to be notified that the data is available for their review. They then need to make decisions upon that data, possible requiring input from multiple stakeholders.
All that back and forth needs to be recorded and stored, along with the eventual decision and the all supporting documents and that whole bundle needs to be made available across multiple systems, which requires a bunch of ETLs and governance.
An LLM with a prompt doesn't replace all that.
We need to think terms of light cones, not dog and pony take downs of whatever system you are currently running. See where thigns are going.
I have worked in large systems, both in code and people, compilers, massive data processing systems, 10k business units.
I don't know what light cones or dog and pony mean here but I'm interested in your take - would you care to expand a bit on how the future can reshape that very complicated set of steps and humans described in the parent?
I think collingreen followed-up better than I ever could, so I'm hoping you can respond to them with more details.
