There are some areas where AI can provide useful services outside of original creative work, but even when attempting possibly valid endeavors, the end results might not always be ideal.

A smartphone that can be charged in fewer than 40 minutes. Even better: a tiny nuclear battery that could keep it running for 50 years.
