Yes, it probably can be done without AI/LLM, but it'd take a long time and resources to develop the solution.
The thing with AI is it's easy, fast and accessible to use, often you don't need to know how to code, often it's cheaper.
Just ask it in natural language and it does it, of course with comes with varying levels of quality, but sometimes it's acceptable.
It can be more expensive to run it (maybe it needs a high-spec smartphone), but for this specific application, if the results comes in a minute it's totally fine, no need to be instantaneous and run in a arduino.
