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.

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.
It’s really good in statistics, but you need to know enough statistics to know what to ask. Just today I needed to write a PyStan script for doing some MCMC and it’s helped me to write it, structure the data and understand the results of the experiment. Then, it confirmed my suspension that the chosen model was not very good for my data and tomorrow I’m trying with another probability distribution.
