 The most useful task I've found for LLMs so far was actually to walk through some physics problems to figure out what math symbols are standard for those problems.

It got the physics problems subtlely wrong in annoying ways... But it was a much easier way to figure out what the standards are; that kind of knowledge is impossible to Google. 
 Huh, interesting one. It's kind of another language learning problem.
