Basic jobs, but not to avoid talking (Score:5, Insightful)
Just that most mundane chores will forever feel like a waste of time. Tidying, dusting, washing dishes, doing laundry, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming. Who really gets anything from doing these things? No one.

We should use that for AIs instead of Turing test.

Re:I don't mind driving (Score:3, Insightful)
If it could do that, why even get on the airplane?
Just opaque the windows and sleep or work or otherwise entertain yourself privately the entire trip... If I could buy a car that could do that for my twice daily, 45 minute commute, I would.
Drive me around = I can get drunk (Score:5, Insightful)
Robots driving people means that people in suburban and rural areas can go to a bar and get drunk, without worrying about how they get home.
This is a major improvement - both for drinkers and for the people that have to share the road with them.

With autonomous cars, intersections could just be four way, no cloverleafs, no spaghetti-bowls... just high volume highways meeting at right angles with the car computers spacing vehicles out so they can travel through by slightly speeding up or slowing down. Since the human element isn't there, vehicles can be packed closer together and still travel at highway speeds safely. If a vehicle's TPMS goes off, it can automatically pull over to a breakdown lane, and traffic wouldn't be slowed down other than the initial pull-over (i.e. no other cars stopping for rubberneckers.)
Having cars automated can turn a stressful commute into 1-2 hours of additional sleep, reading, or quiet time to relax before the daily grind.

I want a robot that can cook a delicious full english breakfast. With black pudding!

I think your request involves a oxymoron "Delicious and English [cooking]"
