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.

I once asked ChatGPT how it (AI) works. It gave me the tools needed to get the right results. There were books on prompt engineering free online. But I decided after reading them that it was easier to have AI teach me to use AI...better. that's the LLMs. On the other hand for image generation, it takes persistence and priority. If the prompt is too complicated, it will do its own thing. If it is too simple, it will do its own thing. After a lot of practice getting to know how it outputs images you will find the right, or close results. Emphasis on close. Leonardo.ai is my favorite.

Edit: if you don't believe you are creative enough, prone the LLM for ideas. Ask it to make the prompt. They are finnicky
