Think ChatGPT, people aren't there to do CRUD, they are there to talk to the model. Saving the results and what they write is a useful feature so CRUD is still needed, but not the main attraction.

Or any other kind of server that computes something, like a game server, as long as you want to write a server program instead of just storing data.
