It seems like it can be transformative organizationally at some point, but for individuals I agree I don't see what people are getting. I seem to be able to pretty much do the things I want to do and achieve the things I want to achieve in terms of sheer information discovery and generation. The qualities that might improve my life are things like better relationships with my family, finally having a child and ensuring it's healthy and happy, my wife somehow having her alcoholism cured, possibly overcoming certain physical limitations related to aging and injuries. I don't feel like any meaningful life outcomes are currently being impeded by an inability to generate code fast enough or find information I need from the Internet or the fact that my queries and commands to computing systems largely have to follow a pre-defined structure.
Legitimate advances in cheap robotics, on the other hand, could maybe make a dent. It feels to me like the things that might make a difference in my life are help with physical labor, not intellectual labor. A nanny, a maid, a driver, that I don't need to pay a salary to.
