LLMs in data pipelines enable all sorts of “before impossible” stuff. For example, this creates an event calendar for you based on emails you have received:
https://www.indexself.com/events/molly-pepper
(that’s mine, and is due a bugfix/update this week. message me if you want to try it with your own emails)
I have a couple more LLM-powered apps in the works, like next few weeks, that aren’t chat or code. I wouldn’t call them transformative, but they meet your other criteria, I think.
What part of this can't be done by a novice programmer who knows a little pattern matching and has enough patience to write down a hundred patterns to match?
Long tail, coping with typos, and understanding negation.
If natural language was as easy as "enough patience to write down a hundred patterns to match", we'd have had useful natural language interfaces in the early 90s — or even late 80s, if it was really only "a hundred".
