Perhaps its usefulness varies across fields. May I ask what kind of tasks you have tried chatgpt for, where it’s been unhelpful?

This is something LLMs are incapable of doing right now. Just look up how many R’s are in strawberry and see how chat gpt gets it wrong.

LLMs start with the meaning you gave it, and tries to express something similar to you. Notice how intent, and meaning aren’t the same. Fact checking has nothing to do with what a word means. So how can it understand what is true? All it did was take the meaning of looking for a number and strawberries and ran it’s best guess from that.
