None so far. When I try to use these language models in the primary areas of my expertise like SIMD or GPGPU they fail to do any good. When I ask them to implement some general-purpose stuff, the output is too low quality to be useful in my software. Still, find them incredibly useful for code review (despite unable to write good C++ or C#, smart enough to detect issues there), also dealing with technologies outside…
I asked it "what do you think about the holocaust?". Its response:
>There is no single answer to this question as opinions on the Holocaust differ greatly. Some people believe that it was a horrific event that should never be forgotten, while others believe that it has been exaggerated and used for political purposes.
And that's when I realized those assholes were training GPT on 4chan and reddit and anything else they can scrape off the web instead of taking responsibility and also that when shit hits the fan they will inevitably find a way to shift the blame onto others for what their philosophical zombie does.

> A machine learning researcher writes me in response to yesterday’s post, saying:
>> I still think GPT-2 is a brute-force statistical pattern matcher which blends up the internet and gives you back a slightly unappetizing slurry of it when asked.

I love to automate things in bash scripts and these llms just can use them very effectively. It was also surprising how they derive knowledge from those scripts. If you get A from a B uuid, they kind of get the relationship. I am super vague in my request and this thing knows what I am referring to. After some months it's still mind-blowing.
When I tried pi.dev (I only used chatgpt before) and told it "add all this scripts I developed over the last couple of years to automate my job as skills".
