Recently I asked Claude Sonnet to help me identify a mushroom that I 
found. It responded with a common name wildly different from the latin 
name in the same sentence -- the mistake is easily verifiable by one 
wikipedia search. Still, I think even a Markov chain wouldn't give me 
such random names -- in most text, common names of species and their 
latin names are very close together.

I do use LLM sometimes, they are good for repetitive task, but you 
still have to check everything carefully.

I think people concentrate on the "intelligence" part (which isn't that 
good), but forget the "language" part -- I find LLMs very nice for 
having conversation in a spoken language that I want to learn. It can 
correct my errors quite well.
