I think probably the sweet spot is using them so you can focus on knowing only the things you care about or need to know about about.

True, but I think the observation is spot on. There are people who want to know things, whether with some help from AI or by other means. Then there are people who prefer ignorance.

Personally I take great comfort from the fact that I no longer, to a large degree, face the dilemma of "Who should I ask about this?"
