I mean, I probably would have invested in AI prior to seeing LLMs in action, too, hoping I was funding the cool kind of AI, not this lame shit.

    Look, there is one thing if does incredibly well. It makes a fantastic spelling checker.

    I've also found a niche use if you are bi- or polylingual:

    Write a paper, letter, etc. Paste it in and ask Chat to translate it into another language you know. Then translate it yourself back into your target language. All of the phrasing and word choice will be yours and consistent since it is done in one go, while your original paper may have been done in spurts over weeks.

    Hmm. I don't know enough to comment. While it sounds likely, I have heard complaints about translation, such as unexpected shifts in tone, etc.

    I’ve done it a couple times and found that it worked well. I’d never use it as a translator for something official or formal but I have used it to help me translate specific words or phrases when I was unsure.
