I respectfully disagree with the claim that my point is petty and irrelevant in this context.

I didn't say it's petty! I said it's not relevant.

My question at the beginning of the thread was: Assuming people are using a particular pattern, where LLMs are used to parse prompts and route them to purpose-specific tools (which is what the thread I was replying in is about), is it actually a good use of LLMs to implement that routing layer, or mightn't we use a simpler implementation for the routing layer?

Your point seems more akin to questioning whether the entire concept of farming out to tools makes sense. Which is interesting, but just a different discussion.

    You did.

    And I already showed you made a claim that LLM was AI and that you agree that you were thinking of something akin to expert systems. When I explained why I think this is a signal that we are headed to another AI winter you started deflecting.

    I am done with this conversation.

      The term "hobby horse" does not imply pettiness.

      I don't think I've deflected at all. You're just talking about something orthogonal to the thing I was asking about in this thread, which (predictably) totally derailed the thread into an entirely different discussion.

      It's fine! Happens all the time.
