When I search this topic online, I always find either wrong information or advertising lies. So what is actually something that LLMs can do very well, as in being actually useful and not just outputing a nonsensical word salad that sounds coherent.

Results

So basically from what I’ve read, most people use it for natural language processing problems.

Example: turn this infodump into a bullet point list, or turn this bullet point list into a coherent text, help me with rephrasing this text, word association, etc.

Other people use it for simple questions that it can answer with a database of verified sources.

Also, a few people use it as struggle duck, basically helping alleviate writers block.

Thanks guys.

    They help me make better searches. I use ChatGPT to get a good idea of what better to search for based on my inquiry. It tells me what I am looking for, and then just use a search engine based on that.

    Also, taught me some python and appscript. Currently learning and testing its capabilities in JavaScript teaching. And, yes I test out everything it gives me. It is best to output small blocks of code and lice it together. Hoping for the best and then, 3 years later finally create an app lol because that is on my end. Still working on an organization app. 80 percent accurate on following complete directions in this case.
