I maintain that LLMs are great for a few things:

* Making stuff up. If you need bulk fiction writing then LLMs are useful (or marketing copy, etc.)

* Transforming information. Unstructured text to JSON. Natural language to Bash. Python to Ruby.

* Information reduction. Summarization. Data extraction (this can bleed a bit into analysis)

They're not AGI but they're definitely useful.
