LLMs produce good output and bad output. The trick is figuring out which is which. They excel at tasks where good output is easily distinguished. For example, I've had a lot of success with making small reproducers for bugs. I see weird behavior A coming from giant pile of code B, figure out how to trigger A in a small example. It can often do so, and when it gets it wrong it's easy to detect because its example doesn't actually do A. The people sending useless bug reports aren't checking for good output.
