Here's comes my NUANCED take on this entire concept: 
"Chatting" with an "AI" that was programmed by someone else might appear to an outsider like something akin to an exercise in "mental m*********n". Looked at another way, one might see it as lowering mental laziness to a new low. (Just when you thought we humans could not make ourselves any dumber than we've already done via the anti-"social media" - we put our beer down ...
).
HOWEVER (here comes the NUANCE
):
If you are using it as a universal encyclopedia to find a technical answer to a NON-POLITICAL question, I have less of a problem with it. Then it actually would be a valuable tool. The real-world problem with this, however: To a "certain segment" of the spectrum, EVERYTHING - including how many pieces of toilet paper you use to wipe yourself with - is a "political question".
And that segment could use something other than facts to influence the AI's answers, making them less reliable and less useful than they could be - (as they have already been demonstrating across wide swaths of the anti-"social media" for years ... )
