Generative machine learning, specifically in the form of large language models (LLMs), has radically changed the natural language processing (NLP) landscape. Over the last three years, we have seen LLMs produce amazing and, sometimes, interesting (?) results. Today, we will explore the strengths, but more importantly the limitations of LLMs. What is the role of traditional approaches NLP landscape? Are task-specific machine learning models dated? Spoiler. No.
