I don’t think there’s many consumer use cases for things like LLMs but highly focused, specialized models seem useful. Like protein folding, identifying promising medication, or finding patterns in giant scientific datasets.
I use it to help give me ideas for DND character building and campaigns. I used it to help me write a closing poem for my character who sacrificed himself for the greater good at the end of a long 2 year run. It gave me the scaffold and then I added some details. It generated my latest character picture based upon some criteria.
Otherwise, it gave me some recommendations on how to flavor up a dish the other day. Again I used it but added my own flair.
I asked it a question to help me the remember a movie title based upon some criteria (tip of my tongue style) it nailed it spot on.
I’ll tell you one place I hated it today. The Hardee’s drive through line. Robot voice drives me up the wall.
I use it to help me write emails at work pretty regularly. I have pretty awful anxiety and it can take me a while to make sure my wording is correct. I don't like using it, not really, but would I rather waste 4 hours of my time typing up an email to all the bosses that doesn't sound stupid AF or would I rather ask for help and edit what it gives me instead.
I know people use it to summarize policy or to brainstorm or to come up with very rough drafts.
I understand the connotations of using it, but I would definitely not say there's zero consumer use case for it at all.
