Even the text generation models have uses. For programmers, there are local models (i.e. don't require huge computational power) that can provide code completion in a similar style that static analysis tools used to give, just much more general and not restricted to a particular language.
Other models can provide you quick answers for basic system operation questions that search engines have gotten too shitty to query for. Just way faster than having to wade through irrelevant results littered with ads to maybe find something tangentially relevant to your question.
