OK, so what is it good for?
LLMs excel at writing filler text which is mandated by some ritual but whose content is unimportant. For example, your fifth-grade report on the life and times of George Washington Carver, which is required work to get a grade but not anything likely to contribute to the sum total of human knowledge.
An LLM can write a summary better than a bored student, but that's really only of value to the student wanting to cheat -- it doesn't benefit society in any way, and the real value of educating the student is lost.
