I'm assuming the post is about automated "context engineering". It's not a human doing it.

In this arrangement, the LLM is a component. What I meant is that it seems to me that other non-LLM AI technologies would be a better fit for this kind of thing. Lighter, easier to change and adapt, potentially even cheaper. Not for all scenarios, but for a lot of them.

Yes, when all is said and done people will realize that artificial intelligence is too expensive to replace natural intelligence. AI companies want to avoid this realization for as long as possible.
