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.
I havent really used any in a serious manner. I did install DeepSeek on my PC to try out. Its pretty fun to play with, but still seems to have issues. For example, I was using it to create bread recipes and fine tune proportions to get the exact amount of dough I need. I found that its math was way off, and would give me wildly different results even when asked the same question and given the same requirements.
Im not sure how ChatGPT compares, as I dont have access to it and Im not really willing to pay for it.
Yes, well that happens if you use very small models. It does get better with more parameters, meaning it gets more consistent. How valuable the advice is, well, you can judge for yourself.
