You can usually tell by the way it's marketed as being useful for anything and everything while not actually being better than anything that already exists.

Other types of generative AI aren't as bad, though that isn't saying much since LLMs are the literal worst. There are, at least, a handful of cases where they have advantages over existing solutions, but they still need a lot of handholding.
