I want an ever-decreasing number of limited-purpose appliances and devices in my life. Personally, I want to see software and even limited AI (not to speak of general AI) fulfill a personal ideal of mine to deliver increasingly general-purpose devices, using intelligence (whether embedded by design or learned) to drive general-purpose arrangements of atoms.

Initially, we will be forced by circumstance and market to adopt single-purpose robots like the Roomba if we want to avail ourselves of their benefits. But there are so many different tasks that I do not foresee a future of mass adoption of such single-purpose devices; the economics do not support such an outcome unless you imagine a near-future where most of the planet's population is compensated around the current US median household income per year.
