There's things they're terrible at and things they are amazingly good at.
I first asked it to perform specific proofs and analytical stuff. Is clear it can't add or second guess its conclusions. Just making stuff up, was pretty horrific. Even weird arithmetics its clear it has no idea because its words are based on correlation and its never seen weird arithmetic before.
What they are AMAZING at is conversationally riffing on ideas. I've had some terrific conversations with bing chat that helped me work through approaches. I understand exactly how these things work and I'm still really impressed how useful those conversations are.
For example, suppose I want to know what sort of primer to use. Literally anyone I ask I'm going to be skeptical of their answer and vet it against other sources. An LM is just other dumbass source. It is not a materials scientist running experiments in a lab, but it has read a lot of trade publications and hot rod forums, it knows enough to tell you options.
Don't come to an LM expecting an expert that will give you the perfect correct answer. Literally approach it like you're talking to a stranger at a bar. Might be it helps you realize some options you wouldn't have considered on your own.
