It's helped me a bit with resolving weird tomcat/Java issues when upgrading to RHEL8, though. It didn't give me an answer, but it gave me ideas on where to look (in my case I didn't realize fapolicyd replaced selinux)
That's the point - you have the expertise to make proper sense of whatever it outputs. The people pushing for "AI" the most want to rely on it without any necessary expertise or just minimal efforts, like feeding it some of your financial reports and have generate a 5-year strategy only to fail miserably and have no one to blame this time (will still blame anyone else but themselves btw).
It's not the most useless tool in the world by any means, but the mainstream talk is completely out of touch with reality on the matter, and so are mainstream actions (i.e. overrelying on it and putting way too much faith into it).
Yeah, it can speed up the process but you still have to know how to do it yourself when it inevitably messes something up.
