Very good comment. In order to effectively use LLMs (I use ChatGPT4 and 4o), you have to be skeptical of them and being a good AI skeptic takes practice. Here is another technique I've learned along the way: When you have it generate text for some report you are writing, or something, after your initial moment of being dazzled (at least for me), resist the temptation to copy/paste. Instead, "manually" rewrite the verbiage. You then realize there is a substantial amount of BS that can be excised. Nevertheless, it is a huge time saver and can be good at ideation, as well.
Yeah I used it last year to generate homework assignments, and it would give me the results in Pandoc compatible markdown. It was initially magic, but some of the problems didn't actually make sense and might actually be unsolveable, so I would have to go through it line by line and then ask it to regenerate it [1].
Even with that, it took a process that had taken multiple hours before down to about 30-45 minutes. It was super cool.
[1] Just to be clear, I always did the homework assignments myself beforehand to make sure that a solution was solvable and fair before I assigned it.
