I've noticed that the people most vocal about wanting to use AI get very coy when you ask them what it should actually do.
"AI, how do I do in "
"Here is some code. Please fix any errors: "
These save me hours of work on a regular basis and I don't even use the paid tier of ChatGPT for it. Especially the first one because I used to read half the documentation to answer that question. Results are accurate 80% of the time, and the other 20% is close enough that I can fix it in a few minutes. I'm not in an obscure AI related field, any programmer can benefit from stuff like this.
Because as a social phenomenon it promises to decide for them what it should actually do.
