The most lucrative uses of deep neural networks today are ad targeting and recommendation algorithms. Those are other places.
I saw over a dozen self driving cars on my way to work today. Weave Robotics launched a laundry helper months ago, although my sense is that "laundry folding" is a bit of a meme and people don't actually care very much about automating it.

They did fully autonomous tests in 2022 through 2024. Something like everything in a 5km radius was dead. Various sources in mainstream media online about this now.
No this is just the ones people understand. An AI that folds proteins for you is world altering, it’s just not as sexy as “killer drone”.
