What you say is somber but sadly hard to dismiss. AI is relatively new though (even deep learning didn't take off till 10 years back) and it's rapidly improving as it tackles low hanging fruit (relatively speaking), like writing stories and playing games. The hope is that as it matures you will see applications in addressing the big problems you mentioned.
