Mostly like a Google search engine with the ability to put information together into written form. The danger is if the search data is limited only to data from left-wing sources. AI could be used to attempt to influence what people believe.
The interwebs is a supermassive pool of knowledge that just sort of sits out there mostly unsynthesized because it’s too huge for anyone to synthesize. People can drill into it via searches on Google etc. but on most subjects even that will yield too much information to synthesize. The pool of information is simply too big for anyone to wrap their arms around, and that’s where AI comes in. It’s a tool for doing large scale synthesis. It extends the human ability to synthesize — i.e. to derive general knowledge from a collection of particular information — by removing the speed limitations of the human mind.
That is probably already happening.
