AI benefits humanity in thousands of different ways, as it’s a massive field of computer science. Ever used to text to speech or speech to text system, read an OCR scanned document, played chess against a computer etc, those are all uses of artificial intelligence, just the ones that suffer from the AI effect.

This current fad of shoving LLMs into absolutely everything and pretending they are actually intelligent probably never will for the most part, unless they actually manage to create an AGI out of it. And then we all die.
