    > The AI hype train is bs, but there're real and concrete uses for it if you don't expect it to become a super-intelligence.

I agree 100% with this sentiment. Another good use case: Ask an LLM to summarize a large document. Again, not super-intelligence, but can be a big timesaver to reduce "intern work". I have heard some people have a LLM plug-in to their Microsoft Outlook (Exchange) that allows them to summarize an email thread. Again, not perfect, but helps to reduce cognitive load. Another practical example: Using an LLM with conference calls to transcribe meeting notes and provide a summary. Then you can review the summary, fix any obvious errors, and send by email to participants.
