Does your job involve solving complex, challenging problems all the time? I am a CS professor, I don't think most people would class that as a trivial job, but I find myself needing to do plenty of trivial tasks every day: mixed bureaucracy (periodic reports, grant requests, various evaluations, etc.), trivial programming (a Seaborn chart to show some Excel results), text polishing (need to cut a text to 500 words without altering meaning), writing student assignments, writing emails in (non-Native) English for sensitive requests with the right tone, etc... all of those are things I have found LLMs to do fairly well and save me a lot of time. I wouldn't use them to do the core job of designing novel algorithms, doing experiments, writing the bulk of a paper or teaching students. But most of my working hours are not really that "core" stuff. And I would assume it's the same for most professionals. If you have an environment where you are constantly challenged by difficult tasks... wow. I don't know if I should envy you (because I love difficult problems and hate mindless chores) or it would be too stressful. PS: I don't think "being too difficult for you to do it yourself" is the right litmus test for LLM usefulness. I can draw charts with Seaborn, of course. But the LLM does it much faster, and I don't think doing it myself would make me grow, hone useful skills or anything. I'd rather devote my time to something else. So (in my view) it's clearly better to have the LLM do it.
