While it could, and I have no doubt that someone will try to do this, it's not the reason it's being shoehorned into everything.
It's partially because it's the tech thing that's 'so hot right now', so every tech enthusiast and hustler thinks it can be used everywhere to solve everything, and it's partially because it's a legitimately huge advancement in what computers are capable of doing, and one with a lot of room for growth and improvement, and can be legitimately useful in places like Notepad.

AI has its uses and it's doing good work in the fields you don't hear about much. But there are way more pets.com right that will go bust soon and the viable businesses will float to the surface. Hell we are going through that right now. Where web 2.0 are moving out of the growth phase and into the Enshittification phase.
