Are there any genuine benefits to AI? (lemmy.world)

I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting,, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?

something I'm not seeing here is business applications in supply chain. Managing forward-stocking warehouses, monitoring shipping lanes and ordering for seasonality, as well as identifying anomalies such as chargebacks, stock outs, outlier returns/damages/failures is typically managed by a handful of people mixing spreadsheets, ERP databases, and emailing people to tell them "your light bulbs are stuck in the suez canal and your recent batch of cables have a defect"

AI can replace these systems with ML, and use LLMs to generate the notifications.
