the potential benefits of such tools are dependent on the knowledge and skills of its users. AI merely answers the questions we ask. It doesn’t give any other response based on wisdom. In other words, if we fail to ask the needed question, we won’t be getting the best response.

Now, isn't that quite an insight. I had the same experiences, "talking" to a chat-AI.
The funniest thing was telling it jokes, and asking it of the punch-line. It was not capable getting it. Since humor and paradox isn't something a machine can "grasp". It's a cultural thing. I placed the same joke in the text field numerous times and it always failed. Same with riddles, in particular, when it's a voluminous riddle. The machine cannot seek out the important information from the unimportant information, since every given information in a riddle is treated by it as equally important. Language is a complex human trait and it's directly attached to body. The physical body of humans make them language-learners. Since AI has no physical body, it cannot relate to physical sensations. It can though simulate it and give answers which seem coherent. But that's not the same.

I have nothing against using AI for the purposes you mentioned. But surely it can also be used to have humans out-ranked in what they are needed for. Since the development is inevitable we will live with it, in the same way we lived with books, films and the internet. If you can't howl against the wolves, you howl with them.

Believing that every moving or still image on the screen is true is something that people tend to do anyway. It will probably be the case that the distinction can no longer be made and everyone will have to think about how they deal with what they see on the screen.
