I basically exclusively use LLMs to explain broad concepts I'm unfamiliar with. a contrived example would be 'what is a component in angular' or 'explain to a c# dev how x,y, and z work in rust' The answers don't need to be 100% accurate and they provide a nice general jumping point to get specific information.
Exactly, I've found them most useful to either summarize a text you feed it, or do broad 'google like' queries. I don't trust it with anything beyond that
