I have been learning a new language... very (torturous to put it mildly) slowly! I do use AI in a limited form. But even with my utterly absolute basic level I do see the mistakes. For the remotely fluent speaker they could see the failures of AI by magnitudes.
Just because AI has ticked all the boxes for your latest 3rd, 4th or 7th Masters doesn't mean you actually have any understanding or "survival!"
Further more, I have actually realised that trying to learn another language is actually improving my English, & I am only on the start of this learning experience.
Putting all the above technicalities aside, it does gives me a reason to keep going.

While there are times that I'm genuinely astounded by what it can do, my general conclusion that AI has about the same IQ as a cheese toastie.
Unfortunately that means that sometimes I spend as much time double checking and fixing the stuff produced by AI as I would have spend if I'd done the work myself. :(
I use AI almost every day. I have found that it provides useful answers to 90% of my computer related questions. For other types of questions, eg electronic component identification, it is mostly useless. In fact it is worse than useless because it generates fictitious results. Copilot (Microsoft's AI) wasn't able to evaluate a simple mathematical expression, even after several attempts, and after I showed it the way. I have used both Gemini and Copilot to produce computer programs which would have taken me several hours to write and debug. Gemini's program was bug-free. Copilot's program had a few syntax errors which I corrected, but was otherwise OK.

Like you I use it on a daily basis, and usually more than once. I don't pay for any, so just get the basic level, preferring not sign in if it allows that. I would rate Copilot very poorly, and primarily choose Gemini.
For coding, I have found it surprisingly good at designing a solution from interpreting simple end user specifications to writing the code. I know your opening post was not about computer languages, but there are similarities. I have asked for help developing in Jinja2 (of which I knew nothing) and it mostly gets it right first go. Without AI, I would struggle for hours to get there, while Gemini has the solution in seconds.
Sometimes the solution fails with an error message. Try this. Try that. And when it still fails, it then adds code to debug each step. Finally, doing my own research I can see it is trying to read an invalid data type for that function.
Or, pass it to a different AI and ask why this snippet fails.
Taking the topic back to non technical, the main way I use AI is to find information, but I make sure to ask it to provide links so I can assess the credibility of the response.
It is the first thing that comes up on a search and I have noticed a lot of the stuff is just plain incorrect.
Don't know why we need this rubbish.
Just more cr*p fed into us by out of control tech billionaires.
Plus the huge data centres wrecking our farmland with gas fired power to run the stupid things.
There are issues with the pollution feeding into nearby cattle paddocks in the NSW Southern Highlands.
There are predictions they will need 15% of our electricity grid to operate in a few years time.
Aren't we in enough trouble now with power generation without adding these monstrosities to our landscape.
Between solar panel farms dotting the landscape everywhere now, huge windfarms under construction and now these ridiculous power hungry data centres popping up everywhere, there will be no decent farmland left to grow food?
A truck driving company owning mate dropped by this morning.
He told me a lot of our dairy farmers are now on the brink of collapse.
Among other things he said labor and freight costs are killing them.
So what happens then, we import milk from some stuffed up country, or China?
I don't think we need A.I., we need A2E. - Afford 2 Eat.
The Internet is full of stupid people. AI learns from the Internet. Stupid people learn from AI and then post to the Internet. AI learns from the Internet ...

Dumbing us right down me thinks, and as it is 1st offered on a search, the dumber we are the dumber we will get.
