LLMs are bad question answerers, but are sometimes decent "structured text outputters".
Their uses range from "almost none" to "you can use it to spit some boilerplate code in a commonly used programming language that it would take you ~50% longer to write than it takes to prompt and verify"

Their evils broadly outweigh their utility* though, and the hype surrounding them is completely made up to drain investor money.

(*) Their utility is mostly "it MAY shave an hour or two off your 60 hour coding project unless you use it too much because then it will instead add like 10 more hours".

They have no artistic purpose either. Art is not an structured output that you can just create out of doing fuzzy algebra to humongous matrixes of data. You can approximate the external appearance of art to an extent but that is it. It's not even "it's soulless", it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
