In my opinion, it's only really good for a few things:
1. Open ended questions where there are no right or wrong answers.
2. Translations - LLM stands for Large Language Model and translations are one of their strong points. I've used it to create Excel formulas by describing what I want to calculate and it outputs working formulas. The reason this works well is because it's being prompted to essentially translate English into Excel syntax.
I don't recommend using it for research or learning because of the hallucination issue. In fact, I would suggest to anyone reading this to ask AI questions that you already know the answers to. You may be surprised by how often it confidently outputs incorrect information.
