Plus I don't want some random ass server to crunch through couple hundred watt hours if scanning the barcode and running that against a database would not just suffice but also be more accurate.
More accurate, efficient, environmentally friendly. Why are we trying to solve all of this with LLMs?
Its easier to program I suppose, just setup a prompt and give back the result of that
Exactly, developers can't just come up with a complete database of all products in existence and where they come from, whereas LLMs are already trained on basically all data that is available on the Internet, with additional capabilities to browse the web if necessary. This is a reasonable approach.
