Producing word salad really isn't that impressive. At least the art LLMs are somewhat impressive.

If you ask it to make up nonsense and it does it then you can't get angry lol. I normally use it to help analyse code or write sections of code, sometimes to teach me how certain functions or principles work - it's incredibly good at that, I do need to verify it's doing the right thing but I do that with my code too and I'm not always right either.

As a research tool it's great at taking a basic dumb description and pointing me to the right things to look for, especially for things with a lot of technical terms and obscure areas.

And yes they can occasionally make mistakes or invent things but if you ask properly and verify what you're told then it's pretty reliable, far more so than a lot of humans I know.
