As a programmer, large language models let me solve an increasing range of problems that I couldn't have solved without them. So I think they are a very big deal.
Just one example: parsing structured data out of a big pile of poorly formatted PDF documents.
That used to be too difficult and expensive for me to tackle without a small army of data entry people to help do the work.
Today I can point Textract OCR at it and then use a language model to extract structured data.
(I haven't implemented this particular example just yet, but I'm looking for an opportunity to do so.)
