If the parrot randomly yaps out a solution to an open math problem, it's a useful parrot.
The fact that it sometimes says things that aren't useful, well, old intelligence does that all the time.
If you've used AI recently, you can't avoid having found it useful. Just general day-to-day intelligence like finding things in your email, writing code for you, that kind of stuff, it does well. People have some weird hangups about it being stochastic, when it doesn't really matter.
