What I heard so far was about advanced pattern recognition for scans (MRI, CT etc) to reduce oversights and in documents to detect potential patterns relevant for epidemologists (a use that's very controversial since it requires all medical documents of citizens to be centralized and available unencrypted). Also some scientists seem to praise purpose-built machine learning technology for specialised tasks (those are not LLMs though).

AI as in "Artificial Intelligence" has existed for decades and is quite useful - and specialized uses of LLMs can extend that. Although AI the buzzword for "generative intelligence" is new, and often wrong, being built to give the form of an answer rather than the reality of one.
