   Agreed.

   Also agreed.  What they often do now is hand them a phone or tablet rather   
   than attempt to entertain them via human interaction.  ;(   
      
   > AI has a place in the world but most expect too much from it..   
      
   Agree, and I question whether or not that place is outside of the   
   workplace.  The persons putting it outside of professional settings are   
   part of the problem.  But there is money to be made so it is not going away.
