Frankly, corporations seem to have no idea how to use LLMs. They want them to be a public facing company representative, which is exactly what LLMs can't do well. Where they accel is as an assistant.
Want to figure out what scale you're playing a song in? It's great at that. I've had it give me chords to go with scales too, or even asked for some scale options based on the feeling of the sound.
It's also great for looking for terms in other languages. I've got some ranged weapon abilities in my tabletop rpg. I knew i wanted one of them to be called pistolero, but I didn't know the terms fusilero or escopetero, and might not have found them on my own, but chatgpt came up with them right away.
I've also learned that it's great at looking up game guides and providing hints that aren't spoilers without giving the puzzle away. I had it generate results for the Lady's Maze in Planescape: Torment and the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. Amazing hints without giving it away.
If you have your own brain and want to off-load some simple queries, it's great. If you want to use it in place of a human brain to talk to customers, you're barking up the wrong gpt.
That music example is how I've used them, it really is spot on. Key, tempo, scale, overlapping scales that could be used, plus factoids included. It really can be very helpful.
