Improving but to what end? If it's not something that the public will ultimately perceive as useful it will tank no matter how hard it's pushed.

I saw a quote that went something like, "I want AI to do my laundry so I can have time for my art, not to do art while I keep doing laundry".

Art vs laundry is an extreme example but the gist of it is that it should focus on practical applications of the mundane sort. It's interesting that it can make passable art but ultimately it's mediocre and meaningless.
