I'm a web Dev and I use LLMs a lot, one of the best uses I've found is to make small tools, for example, I have a tool where I can specify a name and a list of variables, and it will output a stored proc template with my preferences, and some code that I can use in my chosen language to call the proc.

If I need to use a code library for a single task but it's 3rd party and I'm not going to use it again, I'll get an LLM to write me some examples so I can understand how to call the thing, saves me a lot of brain power.

I also use it to write me functions that I don't have available but I know have been written a million times before, like an LPAD function.

I'm also using it for music recommendations, new version of chat can search the web and amalgamate multiple sources like Reddit, last.fm and give me a neat little report on bands I might like to listen to based off artists I give it, I'm currently using it to explore psychedelic music from places like Turkey.

I also used ChatGPT recently to generate me 2 images of a guy to get around discords age check so I didn't have to give them my actual face.

I did try and get it to help me write a dating profile but everyone could tell it was LLM written so I binned it.
