Why would most people use them? What do they offer other than dubious facts that they have to check 95% of the time to not get screwed by something important that it got wrong and in the past would have taken a 5 second google search before the top 50 results became a copy-pasted AI answer?

AI may be good for coding, but it is still crap for many generalized topics beyond a 5th grader's questions. The answers are way too simplified and lack the details needed to rely upon it and contains tons of useless filler. Nobody is going to spend a bunch of money just to ask an AI questions that might be given wrong answers and spews out 75% filler that wastes their time.

Go start asking AI about the Ph level needed for different plants. You can get multiple different ranges depending on how you ask the question for the same plant, with repeated generic plant growing info that is not helpful for anyone that already gardens or has grown a plant.
