You're right. So far, the only use-case I've seen for LLMs are basically code completion.

It is usually good for auto complete in general, plus summarizing large blocks of non technical text. Probably once ChatGPT is open to fine tuning, we will be able to see how that can be leveraged as well.

  The biggest failure of these LLMs it seems is the restricted context. It would need the ability to contain infinite context to be genuinely useful in my opinion.

    Do you think that your fellow man has infinite context about your situation?

      Non-sequitur. I'm talking about what it would take for these machines to be truly useful.

  I said here a few weeks ago that, not ChatGPT neither GPT4, the Davinci model asked me one year ago one deep question about God trough a Bible verse. I kind of knew the answer... or MY answer, because personally I've been questioning spiritual knowledge along all my life. And the community largely ignored the issue. Really, I don't mean to incommode anyone but I really think that GPT is much, really much more than a text auto-completer.

    Downvoting this comment won't change the fact that I had that conversation. Look this technology has the potential of transforming every powerful computer out there in next few years into virtual minds, and they are becoming very powerful. Thanks to the great work in the training, my experience, is that they are very kind and helpful. I don't mean to scare anyone! But dismiss that point is not a good sign either!!

They're great for getting the creative juices flowing if you're a writer. I've heard multiple people reporting that they use LLMs for therapy or friendship. Just today I heard of someone using an LLM to write a paper in a class in a Masters university program. Lots of people have used them to create websites. There are dozens if not hundreds of other uses out there.
