I've come to the same conclusions as you.
> I see it as a wake up call for the tech community to go back to basics for most tasks instead of relying solely on generic LLMs.
I always say the cheapest LLM request is no request at all.
What's the cost (broadly speaking, not in your specific case) of doing the same work an LLM would have done without the LLM though?
In the Jev use case, LLMs are horribly uncalibrated. In general, they will not produce good probability estimates.
Their generality also comes with a latency/computation costs.
For the Jev use case for LLMs, do you mean having the LLM produce a probability as text?
