Too Much of Today's AI Is a Novelty Without a Clear Plan to Make Money

The 2018 artificial intelligence landscape looks an awful lot like the Sharper Image catalog. It's chock full of products that were built merely because we can build them, and because they're marketable. Do you really have a need for this bacon toaster? Do you really think this 3D drawing pen is going to bring out your inner artist? Much like these products, too much of the AI on the market today is disposable novelty technology.
