There are uses for AI in scientific and other things where using it for pattern matching to help find areas to focus on and then thoroughly doing the real work where accuracy is important are where the current AI really excels.

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms trained on real astronomical observations now outperform astronomers in sifting through massive amounts of data to find new exploding stars, identify new types of galaxies and detect the mergers of massive stars, accelerating the rate of new discovery in the world’s oldest science.

It didn't just spit out answers they treated as correct, it did stuff they looked into and found ways to improve their methods. That is the real benefit of AI.
