AI is like drones. It probably has a few practical uses, but much of its appeal will be to thieves, tyrants, manipulators, aka "influencers", and aggressive and intrusive advertisers.
Moviemakers will probably use it to eliminate "stars" and the expense and trouble that most of them generate. Its impact on general employment may be disasterous.

Perhaps one use for it would be automatronic prison guards, though I suspect that some more clever inmates would soon have it working FOR them.

If I had a full-on classic limousine with a chauffeur, I'd keep him or her around to keep the car clean inside and out. But he or she would ride in the back while I did the driving. I do NOT want a self driving car, or anything approaching one. I don't want my household appliances conspiring against me, either, or collecting information, or organizing strikes, or reporting my habits and activities to some authority or other.

"Targeted" ads and algorithmic attempts to curate what news and information and search results I can access already aggravate me. Imagine how AI will cause that stuff to snowball!
