I think that the example in the article is not a good usecase for this technology. It would be better, cheaper and less error prone to have prebuilt forms that LLM can call like tools, at least for things like changing shipping address

Shipping forms usually need verification of addresses, sometimes they even include a map

Especially if on the other end data that would be inputted in this form, would be stored in the traditional DB

Much better usecase would be use it in something, that is dynamic by nature. For example, advanced prompt generator for image generation models (sliders for size of objects in a scene; dropdown menus with variants of backgrounds or style, instead of usual lists)

You make a good point! There are many common input configurations that will come up again and again, as forms and other types on input (like maps as you mentioned). How can we solve for that?

Maybe a solution would look like the server expression a more general intent -- "shipping address", and leaving it to the client to determine the best UI component for capturing that information. Then the server will need to do its own validation of the user's input, perhaps asking for confirmation that it understood correctly.
