I find AI responses to be fatuous, shallow and uncritical. It is uncreative (writes doggerel verse; doddles out prose that sounds like the requested style but only superficially resembles it), it chooses middle ground answers even when asked to do more.

If you need a 6th-grader to write some copy for you, then go ahead. But I'd choose an actual 6th-grader instead. They could use the practice, and they will get better with time.

I'd disagree about the 6th-grade level note; would argue freshman in college, maybe.

But that's beside the point:

How do people not extend the timeline a bit? It often feels like the release of the internet, but instead of people going, "Holy crap, this is going to be huge!" we have a majority saying, "meh, it only connects like 12 different universities."

As though progress somehow deadstops right where we are.
