One thing I've tried using Gemini for, and been really impressed with, is practicing languages. I find Duolingo doesn't really translate to fluency, because it doesn't really get you to struggle to express yourself - the topics are constrained.
Whereas, you can ask an LLM to speak to you in e.g. Spanish, about whatever topic you're interested in, and be able to stop and ask it to explain any idioms or vocabulary or grammar in English at any time.
I found this to be more like a "cognitive gym". Maybe we're just not using the tools beneficially.
