I won’t deny there may be some use cases, but a lot of uses seem like a search engine could get the info I’m looking for, for example:

Code generation: look for some kind of post on code needed

Definitions: look for some kind of site like dictionary.com that has definitions

So I guess my thought is to see what people are using LLMs for, and to compare with existing tools, and then maybe to copy what’s being done for my own use cases.

But what are people using LLMs for currently (that you think can’t be served by other tools)?

    Sometimes I forget a word but I know the idea or meaning behind the word and LLMs are pretty good to find that unknown word. For example, giving a LLM this prompt: “What’s the word for the action of…” It’s a timesaver.
