    I’ve found LLM is excellent to help understand how language use is different from one era to the next, or the meaning in a different structure/pattern (Clockwork Orange being an excellent example).

    Just the other day I asked about a specific phrase in a 19th century novel that surprised me in it’s specificity - the LLM clarified the author’s meaning and that someone from the era would’ve understood the implications, while only an historian today would’ve got it.
