I don't think it's the 'employee destroying, we're going to be playing in our gardens while AI robots do all our work for us' level that AI CEO's have been proclaiming but it is very useful
I would put it top 4 after Google (1999), the internet and smartphones in terms of usefulness, I'm using it every day

If anything depending on what type of work you're doing AI creates extra work. AI has been nothing but grifting.
