I think LLM's are really good for the "drudge work" when you're coding. I always say it's excellent for things where the actual task is easy but the bottleneck is how fast you can type.
As an example I had a project where I was previously extracting all strings in the UI into an object. For a number of reasons I wanted to move away from this but this codebase is well over 50k LOC and I have probably 5k lines of strings. Doing this manually would have been very tedious and would have taken me quite some time so I leveraged AI to help me and managed to refactor all the strings in my app in a little over an hour.
