how much does the correction here hew to making an AI model just look like standardized API calls with predictable responses? If you took away all the costs (data centers, water consumption, money, etc) I still wouldn't use an LLM as a first choice because it's wrong enough of the time to make it useless -- I have to verify everything it says, which is how I would have approached a task in the first place. If we put that analogy into manufacturing, it's "I have to QA everything off of the line _without exception_ and I get frequent material waste"

If you make the context small enough, we're back at /api/create /api/read /api/update /api/delete; or, if you're old-school, a basic function
