How would you feel when an interviewer says, "If AI can do this in 5 minutes, why would we hire you?"

I was asked this question in a recent interview, and the initial answer I gave didn't seem to convince the interviewer. In the end, I said something like: "I can't compete with AI because it's trained on the entire internet, but what I can do is use it strategically. I've worked in places that strongly encouraged this approach."

Has anyone else been asked this question before? How does one answer without sounding defensive or sarcastic, especially when the tone of the question itself is demeaning?
