I had some files that i knew had duplicates, but didn’t exactly match and while the filenames were not identical, you could tell by looking if they were the same.
Would have been very tedious to do all of them, LLM was able to identify a “good enough” number of duplicates and only made a few mistakes. Greatly sped up the manual work required to clean up the collection.
But that’s so far from most advertised scenarios and not compelling from a “make lots of money” perspective.
You use it for pointers and double check the results. I’ve had a lot of luck using it to explain terminology for complicated specialized tasks for trades work and stuff recently.
They’re decent at language tasks. So, if you provide them with all the information and configure them to not make up any of their own, then they can do things like rewriting it in a different style or different language relatively competently.
How do I use it “correctly”

There are (non-AI) algorithms for that. Git uses one to detect renamed files. No need to melt the ice caps just for that.

We used one to come up with a name for a feature cocktail at work. It’s pretty good for that kind of stuff.

That’s the trillion dollar puzzle nobody has been able to solve yet. It’s not trivial at all, even when it seems like it should be.
"Correctly " is a term that has several different uses and meanings. Depending on the context, “Correctly” can mean:
