The only valid use case for an LLM.
I can think of a lot of other uses. ChatGPT is miraculously good at Arabic to English translation, where every other service before it has been relatively shit.
AI's are also very good at dictation, it seems much better than standard speech recognition algorithms. At work all calls are transcribed unless you press a button to prevent that, and I've had calls with team members in India who often don't have the most clear of lines and don't speak English very well and I can't always understand everything they say. Many times I have to look at the transcription to work it out. Yet the transcription understands them perfectly, even through all of the clattering in the background.
I think some of them take calls in working kitchens or something
There are a ton of valid use cases for an LLM, but the problem is that they're billed as a complete solution instead of a tool.
