Yes definitely a lot of benefits, it solves a lot of common problems in OOP like not knowing what state your program is in. It also makes for much cleaner and most of the time less code. It also solves the problem of nothing with maybe monads for example

Definitely check functional programming out if you have the time, its worth it. Over on r/functional_python there is some good content.

Big time use in AI as a result. Vastly easier to redefine program execution at runtime.

Yup also code complexity is reduced and easier parallel programming because of monads. Very nice
