In this thread it is driving a car. But artificial intelligence will have the power to take over all sorts of other jobs.
Once you dig deep down, there is nothing even close to artificial intelligence. Computers are still quite stupid.

But you are right. The technology doesn't exist for some sort of utopian end where everyone who needs something will get it for free from computers. The hype surrounding this technology comes from vested economic interests.
