I don’t use LLMs for anything image related, so I can’t speak to their value there, but almost all simpler NLP tasks are IMO better handled using other techniques that predate them. I’ve yet to see an example where fine-tuning is cheaper/more efficient/better performing than older solutions to these problems.

If older techniques work for you, there is of course no reason to switch to LLMs besides general curiousity or to explore what's possible already. That said, in my case I was enable to generate much more engaging text summaries of tabular data using a Llama derivative.
