Why would you want an LLM to fly a drone? Seems like the wrong tool for the job -- it's like saying "Only one power drill can pound roofing nails". Maybe that's true, but just get a hammer
There are almost endless reasons why. It's like asking why would you want a self-driving car. Having a drone to transport things would be amazing, or to patrol an area. LLMs can be helpful with object identification, reacting to different events, and taking commands from users.
The first thought I had was those security guard robots that are popping up all over the place. if they were drones instead, and LLM talked to people asking them to do/not-do things, that would be an improvement.
Or an waiter drone, that takes your order in a restaurant, flies to the kitchen, picks up a sealed and secured food container, flies it back to the table, opens it, and leaves. It will monitor for gestures and voice commands to respond to diners and get their feedback, abuse, take the food back if it isn't satisfactory,etc...
This is the type of stuff we used to see in futuristic movies. It's almost possible now. glad to see this kind of tinkering.

The point is that you don't need an LLM to pilot the thing, even if you want to integrate an LLM interface to take a request in natural language.

When your only tool is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.
Because we’re interested in AGI (emphasis on general) and LLM’s are the closest thing to AGI that we have right now.
Yeah, it feels a bit like asking "which typewriter model is the best for swimming".

I disagree. The nearest justification is:

LLMs flying weaponized drones is exactly how it starts.
