I don't think the name "Transformer" is meant in the sense of "transforming between file formats".
My intuition is that LLMs tend to be good at things human brains are good at (e.g. reasoning), and bad at things human brains are bad at (e.g. math, writing pptx binary files from scratch, ...).
Eventually, we might get LLMs that can open PowerPoint and quickly design the whole presentation using a virtual mouse and keyboard but we're not there yet.
