It is really easy to way over think, or over feel, AI.

Sometimes it's just a really good interface that matches the task well.

Think of all the people that still avoided getting a computer a decade or two ago, because "online" was so unnatural and creepy to them. Obviously, the internet had and has those places. And frankly a lot of social media still is.

But it can also just be wikipedia, making flight reservations, etc. When that is all it is doing, what you want it to do, that is all it is.

An automated language interface can just be a really good note collector/collator.

Personally, I look forward to the wise, well dressed, well spoken, waist-up robot bartenders we have been promised by movies for decades. Not creepy at all!
