I think a key usage of AI is what I call "responsibility laundering", that is, converting "dirty" dishonest mistakes into "clean" honest mistakes.

Previously, if you half-arsed a decision or task because you're lazy or incompetent and it turned out badly, you'd be blamed for the mistake.

But now, if you run the decision or task through AI and it goes badly, you can blame the AI and it will be seen as by most people as an honest mistake (with you as the innocent victim of an AI's failure).
