So how is "AI" an outcome benefitting me as customer?

From an old fortune message:
Q: "So, why did you get into Artificial Intelligence?"
A: "It made sense: I didn't have any real intelligence."

They are not the same thing.
Consumer don’t know that and hence don’t care.
And that’s fine.

That's my point. They are the same thing. But the person I'm responding to implies that one is a benefit and the other one is a method. I was just asking which is which, seeing as I don't see the difference. They're both different names for the same set of tools, in my opinion.
