The internet is just a gigantic library. However, instead of having to travel to a physical stick-n-brick building, browse through rows and rows of book shelves and scan one page at a time of book after book, the internet does all of that digitally and almost instantaneously. That is about the only difference between the two methods. All the information you need is at your public library tucked away in magazines, books, papers, and article. The internet is the same compilation of information, only all done with bits of one's and zero's at the speed of light.
So, now the "internet" has morphed another step forward, enabling an immediate response to any question imaginable by humans. If there is any information tucked away in a digitized information warehouse, the "internet" now call it "AI" pulls that information and then simply presents it in a simple to read, consolidated, fifth grade level reading style that anyone can now understand. AND... does it almost instantly.
It's the same information that has always existed. It's still the same information that someone else has already entered into the data bases. The information returned is ONLY as good as the information that already exists.
The problem is, there is so much information that's been uploaded into these systems, the "system" does not know which piece of information is truly valid and which is actually bogus. When information returns, no matter what the original question, it is still the responsibility of the end user to decipher that information and determine what is valid and what is bogus or irrelevant.
AI is simply a new way of presenting an internet "search engine's" results in a paragraph form. It's a tool to be used as a help, not the replacement for human wisdom.
