The only decent use of LLMs I have seen is a bot on Mastodon that generates alt-text automatically for posts of users who opt-in, and shows how much power was used to generate the text.
Other than that use case, I hate LLMs. They have never been useful for me and it just seems like overkill for most things, a search engine would do fine, you just have to use your brain a little bit.
Image generation also sucks. Stock images exist and you can just draw, take a photo, hire someone, etc. AI makes people less willing to learn because they think that AI can just do it better, it makes them miss out on the joy of art.
AI’s job is to lie about being human. I fundamentally disagree with that and think its existence is unnaceptable. If AI-generated output was somehow always tagged as AI-generated, then maybe I would change my mind about this, but this is completely unenforceable because AI copies and mimics human output.
