Do you know how many people have poor reading comprehension skills?

"I hope that AI can stream line more menial tasks... "

Yes, more of this please. If I can give AI a series of verbal commands on how to do a tedious task like editing thousands of pages of text and use the proper images supplied that correspond to the text. This is the proper use of AI. There are millions of redundant tasks that can't be simply automated because they need to be context sensitive. I'm not expecting it to do it perfectly, but a base line starting point so I don't have to start from scratch is what is desperately needed. Or a means of interpreting abstract data like images.

I don't want or need a trivia bot. And everyone is coming out with a trivia bot that is more or less the same as the other trivia bots and then wanting to start a company with a 20 billion dollar valuation. I'm sick of that crap.

I don't want a chatbot. I feel like these are really useful propaganda tools. We're at a point where, how can you know that I'm not a bot?!

At some point in the future the bots are going to be spamming the hell out of social media platforms if they aren't already. It'll be one bot fighting another bot.

If the AI is based on what it can find on the web then it is worthless for everything that doesn't entail answering Jeopardy questions. And if you're teaching a survey course, you already know that you're job was in danger of being replaced by videos.
Someone is hoping to get rich selling another idiot bot.
