I see your point, but it's hilarious that I can ask AI "Write a python program that takes an URL parameter, connects over http to that URL, interprets the response as a CSV file and prints a sum of integers in the second column. Use argparse for command line parsing" - pure science fiction a few years ago - and you call this a "boring low-hanging fruit". Truly we humans get used to the good stuff quickly.

But still well within the described "well-off 20-somethings solving non-problems for other well-off 20-somethings."
Wake me up when I can say things like…
Hey, Google, are my custom license plates ready for pick up at the tax office?
Hey, Siri, ask my doctor to refill this medicine.
Hey, Alexa, how many charging stations are broken at the gas station on 16th street?
Hey, Google, why is this plant dying?
Hey, Siri, why are there so many people in my neighborhood today?
Hey, Alexa, did anything ever get done about that story in the newspaper from a couple of years ago about the Chinese slave labor being used to grow pot on illegal farms on the Navajo reservation?
"AI" just doesn't have access to the information required to do anything interesting or useful. And because so much of its information comes from the web, which is already so polluted on certain subject (gardening, travel) as to be useless, the AI becomes useless.
