I have yet to see anything that isn't contrived huckster stuff but I am open to seeing them doing anything actually cool. LLMs have hard limits but they can do some things well already like certain kinds of translation

    Translation is definitely one of the unambiguous goods of past AI research. A lot of the origins of the technology came from scientists trying to create better translation tools, and it shows in how well it captures language. Being able to have not-shit translations on demand is such a recent thing in the history of humanity. I think it's very good for spreading international understanding better.
