If your task was being solved well by a deterministic script/algorithm, you are not going to save money porting to LLMs even if you use Open Source models.

'could' is doing a whole lot of work in that sentence, I'm being charitable. Reality is LLMs are being crammed in places where it isn't very sensible under thin justifications, just like the last few big ideas were (c.f. blockchain)
If it can't be solved by a script then what's problem with seeing if you can use LLMs ?

I guess I just don't see your point. So a few purported applications are not very sensible. So what ? This is every breakthrough ever.
