I'm not sure how to feel about the use of AI that is usually quite error-prone, but I guess it allowed them to categorise and process millions of records instead of hundreds.
LLMs actually tend to excel at this kind of work. They are basically statistical engines capable of ingesting and parsing enormous amounts of data very quickly.
LLMs aren't the only form of AI, just the one the media likes to also that buzzword onto the most. There's are some machine learning models that are good at this kind of route categorization
There are, but I'm 99% sure it would've been called machine learning or not mentioned at all
I'm not bothered enough to check, whatever they used, this is a great data, a lot of work is performed, and it can be corrected on the go if any issues are found
Generative AI and LLMs are basically synonymous.
...to idiots.
ehh it could be as simple as asking gpt “make me a schema that is fitting for the data in this xls.”
