Eh, I use Gemini to project manage my little herb garden. Low stakes, well trodden ground. It was the kind of thing I knew LLMs could handle for stuff I do know about, so I'm trusting it for something I don't know about.

Ultimately it doesn't matter if my herbs live or die, I know I'll kill them on my own though. Gardening isn't a skill I want to actively acquire, I just want the herbs. It (the garden) is doing fine. I had some yellow leaves, the bot said to top dress it, I did, no more yellow leaves. So far so good.

Anything beyond the well trodden LLMs are shit at though. I tried to use it to find a specific motorcycle part, discontinued by the manufacturer: it couldn't. When I wanted it to shop for me, it failed. It seems to be doing well managing this non-commercial project for me.
