The author expresses concern over the overuse of Large Language Models (LLMs) for deterministic tasks, citing an example of an LLM being used for sorting hotels by price, which is inefficient and prone to errors compared to traditional programming methods. This approach incurs significant costs and introduces unreliability, such as hallucinations or incorrect data formats. The author contrasts this with their own product, GoChatTravel, where LLMs are solely used for natural language conversation management, while all other functions, like data processing and API calls, are handled by deterministic code.
