One thing I think will be fascinating is when it's used essentially as an archiving tool... for quickly sourcing information, or even distilling things that were previously simply not possible. The "Wiki Leaks" files spring to mind. Basically there were something like 10+ million documents... no single person could ever read them all, let alone remember everything meaningful and make connections etc... however, a well-utilised AI could read all of the documents in minutes, and then someone
asking it the right questions could have it distil down any linked information on specific topics very, very quickly and accurately. As a tool for knowledge, it's going to be the biggest leap forward since the Internet.
