No one else has said this, and I have little faith that you'll listen, but I'll try anyway.

The motivations of the "AI" are not yours. It was trained by, and often is hosted by, rich assholes who do not share your interests.

The push for "AI" is being driven by people who stand to profit from your dependence on these things. These tools demonstrably make you stupid and dependent, which means that inevitably you're allocating your agency to a tool that will decide for you how and even whether to do things.

It's why "agentic" is such a big deal for these ghouls. In a world where you can't even buy groceries without an agent, these companies will effectively control which milk you buy, and how much you pay for it. Concert tickets: sold only to people who pay for the premium agent experience, and imagine for a moment what they have planned for software:

User: "Build a mobile app that allows users to watch pornography on their free time."

AI: "That sort of project is unavailable due to our terms and conditions. Please select a more suitable topic."

User: "Build a simple website for an activist group opposing the involvement of tech oligopolies in government."

AI: "That sort of project is unavailable due to our terms and conditions. Please select a more suitable topic."

User: "Build an invoicing system for my paper company."

AI: "Absolutely, but the price for this has been increased by 300% since we own the tools and you're just renting them."

This stuff is Cancer for a Free society, and your devotion and promotion of it is a big part of the problem.
