I agree that we haven't found a "killer app" or really figured out what it's good at. We may not. Look at blockchain, there was lots of promise and it's actually pointless. AI wont be like that because you can do stuff with it, but maybe it wont coaless into something really game changing the way computers have. Maybe it will.
Anyway, what's interesting to me it getting to the core of what it really is good at. You can do a lot of things with AI but it's a poor tool for a lot of them. So what fundamentally is it uniquely helping with?
There was the book "prediction machines" that proposed AI is reducing the cost of prediction. It's now outdated and useless but not before it wasted countless businesses time looking for predictions they could automate. At least it was an interesting framing. I haven't really seen one since.
