I know AI it's just a marketing term I usually use quotes when I write the AI term, but anyway it isn't what real human intelillence does too?, you don't create things from nowhere, usually people use different sources to accomplish a conclusion, I believe it's exactly what "AI" does, just it speed up the process, instead of spending 30 minutes reading information about a random stuff, you just ask to the "AI" and it does it in 20 seconds, if you need instant answer to something I think it is pretty useful.
I know it doesn't think by itself but it speed up the process of searching objective stuff on the internet.
For example for psychological research it will suck of course but to speed up searching for polls made to the population it could be pretty useful.
