5. I trust and like AI much more than the old Google

The trouble with the old Google was that people who have only shallow knowledge and are prone to run with their feelings are easily misled into rabbit holes by old-fashioned Google queries. The queries inevitably turn up some cray cray stuff intended to sell ads or recruit and hook the "cult think" prone.

AI tries to keep people from thinking dumb or crazy things. That's a huge benefit. It's just in time.
