What do you guys think of AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

What bothers me about AI is that younger people --who should be learning to think, along with learning knowledge-- tend to rely on it for most all information, even for material that they should already know. The logical end point of that is that eventually people won't be able to think or reason very well at all.

Obviously AI has some excellent uses, and one could see how that is beneficial. But information from AI is only as good as the people who program it-- biases included.

Like people who tend to believe anything written in a book is truthful, we now have a new technology that people put their faith in. And who will police it? And by what standard?
 

I 'consult' AI for some trip planning. Wife and I are serious hikers and even though I consult books and online sites, I can often get a more fully detailed description of hikes. I can get detailed info on how to get to the trailhead, 'step by step' description, side trips, transportation, etc.
I do try to check on what is presented in my query. I know AI is not 100%.
