I find they’re pretty good at some coding tasks. For example, it’s very easy to make a reasonable UI given a sample JSON payload you might get from an endpoint. They’re good at doing stuff like crafting farily complex SQL queries or making shell scripts. As long as the task is reasonably focused, they tend to get it right a lot of the time. I find they’re also useful for discovering language features working with languages I’m not as familiar with. I also find LLMs are great at translation and transcribing images. They’re also useful for summaries and finding information within documents, including codebases. I’ve found it makes it a lot easier to search through papers where you might want to find relationships between concepts or definitions for things. They’re also good at subtitle generation and well as doing text to speech tasks. Another task I find they’re great at is proofreading and providing suggestions for phrasing. They can also make a good sounding board. If there’s a topic you understand, and you just want to bounce ideas off, it’s great to be able to talk through that with a LLM. Often the output it produces can stimulate a new idea in my head. I also use LLM as a tutor when I practice Chinese, they’re great for doing free form conversational practice when learning a new language. These are a just a few areas I use LLMs in on nearly daily basis now.
Good of you to continue exposing yourself as an utter clown. When presented with overwhelming evidence that Chinese investments in Africa result in huge improvement in standard of living, education, and infrastructure your counter is look at this bad thing that happened. That obviously negates everything. You are so very intelligent.
See, continue to expose yourself as a troll. There are mountains of studies examining China’s investments around the world, and they all show positive and persistent impact. This is the opposite of what you chuds did there, but evidently all a parasite can do is project and assume everyone else is also a parasite.

We have a great economy because of services that we provide. We have a highly educated population.
Nah, it’s because you’re leeches.
What the fuck? Using brain? Logic? In a tankie sub?!
Take your own advice little dronie.
Oh look more projecting. If you knew anything at all then you’d know that China has seen the highest rise in standard of living in human history. Being an ignoramus that you are, you don’t even bother considering where China started at when comparing to your shithole colonizer country. Your whole standard of living is built on brutal colonial exploitation, particularly in the Congo.
From 1885 to 1960, Belgium plundered the Congo Free State (later the Belgian Congo) for rubber, ivory, and minerals, enabled by forced labor, mutilation, and mass killings that claimed millions of lives. King Leopold II’s personal fiefdom and subsequent state rule extracted vast wealth, financing Belgium’s industrialization and public infrastructure while leaving Congolese society impoverished and fractured.
Today, Belgian corporations like Union Minière (now rebranded as Umicore) maintained control over strategic resources such as cobalt and copper, critical to modern technology, through neocolonial trade arrangements. Belgium’s social welfare systems and economy at large are directly subsidized by extraction of resources and labor from the Global South.
Belgium has never done any meaningful reparations or dismantled systems of exploitation, it’s a parasitic nation. Its prosperity, built on ongoing extraction, underscores a global order where colonizers thrive at the expense of those they exploit.
lol imagine not being able to understand the concept of purchasing power
Meanwhile, welcome to real Belgium 🤡 https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/03/31/belgium-on-strike-against-arizona-coalitions-austerity-plans/
I have no problem criticizing China when I talk to serious people who have a clue regarding the subject. I’m not going to do that while being bated by an obvious troll such as yourself. Meanwhile, your ability to jeer at the oligarchs who rule over you is known as jester’s privilege. Nothing to be proud of.
I love how y’all are still seething that your color revolution failed
