The best use of LLM sadly is to use it on social media to spread disinformation. At that point making shit up isn't a big but a feature.
For coding I am still not sold on it. It seems to excel on tasks that were done millions of times like programming assignments at school, example/tutorial code, interview questions.
For me while it helps in stone cases, I still have to go over the code and understand it and very often it introduces subtle bugs or I can write a more concise chose that fits my need. In those cases all the advantages it did are nullified, I suspect it might actually be slowing me down.
It feels to me that LLM is a godsend to all the coders that previously copied code from stack overflow. It greatly streamlined the process and also included all code published on GitHub.
