What do you think the next big wave in AI will be?

Machines that make predictions about what the future will be like.

Bots in FPS games will start using 1337 5p34|<, taunting you with cries of "Headshot, motherf$%#@er!" and teabagging your corpse when you're killed. They will be indistinguishable from the annoying people who actually play those games, and thus pass the Turing Test.

Mankind will become forever disgusted with the thought of Artificial Intelligence, and abandon all research in that direction as wasted effort.
