What was your wow moment when exploring LLMs?

I tend to use it as an infinitely patient tutor that lets me ask it "stupid" questions or throw analogies at it to see if my understanding of a topic is on the right track or not. (I'm fully aware of hallucination and seek further sourcing for facts).

So the "wow" moment for me is less to do with a response from an LLM and more looking back at a session and thinking of how much more effort and time it would have been to learn about a concept without it, particularly in counting the number of unknown unknowns it introduced me to (topics that I either didn't know existed, or would have known a name for in order for me to Google it).

Same here. It's a tool and this is really the best part: it's a tool and I like it too. :)
Wow, this is what our top talent is working on?
When I realized that GPT 3 could read and reason from JSON.
