LLMs as part of an application are incredible at taking unstructured data (a webpage, a resume, a transcript, user text), and transforming it into structured data. I’d never use it to do something like select all the points on a map whose coordinates are within 5 miles of another coordinate, though.

My heuristic is if it’s something that code can accurately do, it should. Deterministic code is so much easier to deal with than stochastic “code”.

But still, extracting order from chaos is an extremely useful tool.
