I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting,, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?

Most email spam detection and antimalware use ML. There are use cases in medicine with trying to predict whether someone has a condition early

It's also being used in drug R&D to find similar compounds like antimicrobial activity, afaik.
