I cannot understand why some people are so disturbed by AI's suggestions.
I mentioned clearly enough that my suggestion was suggested by an AI and is untested, as well as my limited knowledge of the topic.
The fact that some people only rely on human knowledge and cannot get used to AI is, in my opinion, a step back into the past.
The fact that messages are now being warned that messages should be ignored is, to put it mildly, a source of incomprehension for me.
Let us let the user decide what is useful for them or not.

Using AI and solve a problem is great!
Posting unverified AI answers, however, is both useless and potentially harmful for the future of AI. And if you don't have the expertise to validate AI generated instructions, better to refrain from answering altogether!
I'm also active in the Answers forum and have been given the opportunity to test an "Answer with OpenAI " button when I reply to questions. Subject to one important condition, though. AI generated answers MUST be validated. Otherwise they will be removed.

Yes, it is discussing that AI potentially could be collapsed. It generates lot of not verified information, much more than human being. Such generated information is used as the basis for future answers. Incorrectness is growing quite fast and one day majority of information will be incorrect.
Hope algorithms will be adjusted, will see.

We don't have any issues with the AI generated answers if those works correctly.
It is a problem when those answers are incorrect and not verified. Mainly when OP tries to follow the steps given in incorrect AI generated response and they get stuck in between those steps - it wastes lot of time of users trying to find out why the solution is not working.
In this particular response, you are suggesting to use the custom JavaScript on list forms but SharePoint online does not support using custom JavaScript directly on list forms like SharePoint server versions (via script editor or content editor web parts).
I can give another example, like here: SharePoint Online Query Rules - You are suggesting to use the PowerShell command like Get-SPOSearchQueryRules and New-PnPSearchQueryRule which is misleading as these commands are not available in SharePoint Online PowerShell and PnP PowerShell. And I am sure OP susheel020 must have wasted his precious work time trying to find out these commands on the internet.
This are just few examples. You can guess what will happen when AI generated responses suggest deleting columns or data in their steps to solve some issue and user tries to follow such steps thinking it will solve their issue but they will lost the whole data from SharePoint lists.

The never-ending story of AI.
Opinions vary widely.
Can you use AI “openly” or does the AI have to be guided in channels?
My opinion is that AI is a tool that should be used creatively. The user decides whether the result is accepted or not. I believe that every user is mature enough to decide for themselves whether it can be useful for them or not. Whether the user loses a lot of time with this or not is also a discussion in itself, because this is also relative.
The pros and cons can take a long time. A discussion about AI or the way it is used is currently a topic that the great minds of this world still do not agree on.
Who am I to criticize other people's opinions on this topic!
What bothers me is the indirect or direct personal comments instead of discussing the topic. It is one thing to point out possible mistakes and another thing to use the topic to discredit the person, directly or indirectly.
As far as I am concerned, I'll try to give an answer as far as possible if no answer has been given. As far as possible, I will describe most of my answers as AI answers if they are taken from them. As I mentioned before, it's better to give an answer, even if it's not 100% accurate, than none at all. The user can decide for themselves whether this is suitable for them or not.
I'm always happy to be proven wrong. But don't let anyone push me into any corner.
For me the discussion ends here.
At the end, I would like to apologize if anyone was indirectly or directly offended or attacked by my comments.
