    There's a lot of talk about the shortcomings of LLMs. They don't actually reason. They're expensive, especially when running in a loop. They're quite slow at doing things. There's a narrow category of use cases that LLMs excel at, one of which is "sifting through the noise". The noise is everything we have to process.
