Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes
There's a substantial difference between contextualized information of Wikipedia (much of it sourced and edited) and decontextualized information dreamt up by the plagiarism machine. The latter may be incidentally right, occasionally (maybe even often), but it's not nearly as useful or reliable.
