I like the category of "augmenting human skills". Google's Quick Draw is an example of augmented drawing, but you could use the same concept for writing, creating music, even programming. DeepFakes are basically the beginning of augmented video production. Imagine if you didn't need a green screen and body tracking suits to replace any person or scene in a movie with whatever you want. The whole field of generative deep learning is interesting and, to me, a really unexpected result of AI research.

- Self-driving cars

- Camera that make better looking pictures

- Better looking movies / videogames

- Better medical diagnostics.

- Face recognition

- City surveillance; finding criminals, lost children.

The key is to not think about it too much. Your "logic" has no place here. Anyway, once the revolution hits your parents are gonna have those autonomous microwaves and self-cooling doctorbots they've been craving. The future is very, very, very bright.

Voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, etc.
