Bots (in a very general sense..) will be big one day. Next...who knows. With smartphones,we saw these in various guises for decades before the iPhone took the world by storm. Before that they were interesting and we all knew they had potential but didn't offer practical value yet. Some many things had to come together with software, hardware, a vision and other factors to complement the technology like the Internets evolution. Bots and AI IMO will have the same lag then impact one day when we 'crack it'. Maybe we have other factors we need to advance to make them interesting such as robotics or something we haven't conceived yet. While some people dismiss the potential as they've been about for so long without impact, I feel this is evolution happening. Just dont expect it tomorrow. It took 700 years form the first rocket to going to space. 30 years from the first computer to being a common item. 20 years from first smartphone to a mass consumer one. The rate we're advancing tech these days is pretty incredible really.
