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.
