Yeah, its pretty wild! I think one of the benefits, but also potential risks, with LLMs, is you can just point them at anything without a lot of expertise.

Building an SVM isn't a tricky job, but you probably need a data scientist involved, and to think carefully about a labeled dataset.

I think we're seeing the modelling equivalent of something like electron apps. Where they waste a tonne of resources, but make an easier developement experience.

Will be interesting to see how much or little this changes with LLM costs.
