I am still waiting for evidence of that.
Tried it for a while for general questions and for coding and the results were at best meh, and most of all it was not faster than traditional search.
Even so, if it was really useful, it would still not be worth the fact that it is based on stolen data and the impact to the environment.

AI is a super broad field that encompasses so many tech. It is not limited to the whatever the tech CEOs are pushing. In this comment section alone, we see a couple examples of AI used in practical ways. On a more personal level, surely you'd have played video games before? If you had to face any monster / bot opponents / etc, those are all considered AI. Depending on the game, stages / maps / environments may be procedurally generated - using AI techniques! There are many more examples - e.g. pathfinding in map apps, translation apps -, just that we are all so familiar with them that we stopped thinking of them as AI. So there _are_ plenty of evidence for AI's usefulness.
