The only thing I've found them actually useful for is generating random lists for my D&D games.
When it comes down to needing some mundane descriptions, its great having an LLM brainstorm for you. "Give me 10 examples of weird things I might see in jars in a witch's hut." This works well because you can just cut the 5 you don't like and use the other 5 to brainstorm your final list.
This is the only thing I use it for in personal life. Every town my players visit now has a gift/t-shirt shop - I feed it details of the location have it spit out 20 t-shirt ideas and 5 are something I can work with. My players have started collecting t-shirts.
Or I describe a monster or bit of homebrew and have it suggest names, I suck at names. GPT also sucks at names but after enough suggestions there'll be something that works.
Yes, I absolutely love this. I bought a deck of attack description cards that make hits feel more interesting by describing the action in cool ways, but it had nothing for misses, so I fed chatGPT some examples from the 'hit' list and asked it to make me a miss one, and it's been great.
