I have occasionally found the Google search AI handy in pointing me in the right direction, like when I can't remember or don't know a particular term for something, it's decent at giving me the term I'm actually searching for. Can't trust it for shit as it's intended to be used though.

Oh yeah, it's definitely useful for that!

Since LLMs are essentially just very complicated probabilistic links between words, it seems to be extremely good at picking the exact word or phrase that even a thesaurus couldn't get me.
