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.

    Honestly, my favorite use case for ChatGPT is as an Internet search engine. Google has become so shitty that I outsource it’s main job lol. I just tell ChatGPT to send me reputable sources as links for the query, and I skip the bullshit.

    It’s also not a bad way to generate SEO friendly descriptions for eBay listings, if you have a lot to list and are lazy. You can move a lot faster and get better results than using the default ai that site has. It would be ideal to personally write everything and be an SEO expert, but you are mostly guiding people to see the photos and just need the metadata perks of the jargon.
