I ask this question because it is not really a "normal" question. We all know that any AI will always give the correct notes for a C major scale, for example.
My question is not really based on music theory.

I am trying to understand what AI is capable of and what other people think about the subject. Why do you use it and why do you not?

I agree that AI needs to be verified where that is possible and when you think it is necessary. But why would that be any more important than verifying any important information? I don't take my doctor's opinion at face value; I research it to verify. I don't need to go look up anything if my wife says it is 400 degrees below zero outside. I know that is very unlikely to be true.

Could AI return incorrect answers to musical theory questions? Of course. How often, not much, I think. Most likely, it would be more accurate than many educators.

Like it or not, use it or not, it is here to stay. It is becoming embedded in most everything.
Are there potential dangers? Yes, and they are coming, well, not exactly, they are already here. Bad actors will use and are using this technology as we speak. AI is not the monster; people are.

I am, along with many, many others, actively working to develop systems to protect all of us. The government is not capable of protecting us; only people like you and me can change our future.

Happy Monday.
