Build something that solves a painful or interesting problem. Build something new! Nudge the status quo back towards sanity, balance and goodness. Tech people have this tendency to onanise over whatever tools they're using -- how many times have we seen the plainest vanilla empty "hello world" type of project being showcased, simply because somene was compelled to make Framework A work with Toolkit B for the sake of it. It's so boring! I think the LLM-based tech poses such a challenge in this context, because yeah, we have to re-think what's possible. There's no point in building a showcase when the tool is a generalist.
