The current system of AI stuff are mostly good for summarizing a ton of articles at once, translating, and filler for artists. Just the other day I was driving somewhere and had to find a parking spot that was cheap/free and had duckduckgo's chatbot summarize 30 enshittified search results for me which led me to a real free parking space. All the apps and sites for the nearby area are basically worthless for listing the actual pricing in a quick way. As for art, its never particularly good at making very complex things unless you get a good roll of the dice or have a dozen extra systems built over it, but its great at filler.
As for translating, I have some Chinese friends and its fun to freak them out by emulating dialects from certain regions they're from with qwen's llms.
If youre using it for things like important manuals and so on, you're essentially just programming a search engine that detects natural language and outputs RAG based on keywords, which can be done in a much less resource intensive way than an LLM.
