That's like saying 'why give people calculators, when you can pull out a slide rule'
The whole point is that you are enabling the LLM through tool use. The prompt might be "Download all the images on the wikipedia article for 'Ascetic', and print them on my dot matrix printer (the driver of which only accepts BMPs, so convert as needed)"
Your solution using file / curl is just one part of the potential higher level problem statement. Yes, someone could write those lines easily. And they could write the wrapper around them with only a little more difficulty. And they could add the 404 logic detection with a bit more...
Are you arguing LLMs should only be used on 'hard' problems, and 'easy' problems (such as downloading with curl) should be done by humans? Or are you arguing LLMs should not be used for anything?
Because I think most people would suggest humans tackle the 'hard' problems, and let the tools (LLMs) tackle the 'easy' ones.
