I think AI could be useful in world building and very effective if used well, but I still think we're a generation or two away from what I'd find useful. Namely because I've been working o the same world for so long, heh heh. I am very curious, if I had the time, to try and use it to help build a conlang. BUT, I really try hard to avoid that time sink. If I got too deep, I might not make it out, heh heh.
And on the other hand, the AI is incapable of true creativity. Now! that said, once a person can train their own personal AI... so say, I could feed it my own cultures and ideas, have the AI remember it, use it, and spin things under very consistent parameters and within guides I set up, then it becomes a serious tool of creation. AI wouldn't come up with the pantheon of the Four Queens in my world because without knowing the world and its rules and history, it wouldn't be possible. Get some elements sure, but... No. Once it's a trainable AI assistant, then watch out on the world building front.
I did manage to spin a little folk tale based on the Hyena and Hare of African folk stories using Bing AI as a tiny bit of inspiration, more of triggering an idea than using anything it came up with.
