This is not a question that is being avoided. It is a question that has already been answered because AI already solves or helps to solve miriad problems in the real world. You could search "applications of AI" and enlighten yourself, but here are a tiny sample off the top of my head:

Fraud detection and prevention

Personalization and recommendation systems

Autonomous vehicles

Spam filters

Smart navigation systems

Inventory management

System control in industrial processes

Increasing crop yields in agriculture

All sorts of use cases in finance

Diagnosis in healthcare

Image and sound intelligent upscaling

etc etc etc

These are all real use cases of AI which are in place already.

I think he's asking for real applications. Everybody's already heard the hype.

I mean... What kind of answer are you expecting? Like, specific companies that are making money off of AI already? It's kinda early days. Describing discussions of the future as "hype" isn't really helpful either way, since that word has no meaningful definition besides "bad predictions" I guess.

If you want companies that have already chosen to apply AI to their work, consider Google, Facebook, and Tesla.

No true Scotsman….

Those are all real applications now. For example you might not think some autonomous vehicles are very good but they do exist and are in production.
