Make me use my natural intelligence to overtake that AI.

It would be able to scan the web in order to detect any illegal activities (e.g.: people-drugs-weapons traffickers, ransomware developers, etc.) and expose them.

Or be able to control a physical robot with decent accuracy so it can make and bring me coffee  ?!

Actually no, because since it can do only one thing the robot would be well commandeered to either brew a good coffee or perfectly bring it to me.
And both a coffe that tastes like exausted motor oil or a perfect coffee thrown down the drain are ... not my #1 choice

Better not, because I'd:
- be prosecuded for money laundering in 3-2-1
- immediately share the loot with Jimmy Wales, MSF, Emergency, and a lot of charities
- be on the run from Bezo's thugs

Since the AI is perfect in its job, said transfer is untraceable. Party Time I say!

Create an international program that recognizes intellectual/technical potential among young persons whose horizons are limited by their circumstances (war, forced emigration, poverty, illness, disability, discrimination, religious intolerance, etc.).
Let this program be heavily funded, staffed with caring, tolerant, bright, people, and volunteers.
And, let the program keep alive the "flame of hope" in an ever more troubled, cataclysmic, world where too few have too much, and so many have so little.

make robot walk - is vague and not singular task. "Make robot walk forward over loose gravel on a level plane" is singular enough to my meaning.
writing code based on a prompt: well needs to understand each word, and them as a collection and relation to each other. then if has any knowledge about what being asked, and association of the actual want from that. then need to either construct in human form source code as well as possibly attempting to apply programming patterns which are deemed suitable. Plus the quasi business rules which are often omitted from initial design because Jeff forgot to mention.
general purpose, such a jack of all trades is master of none, but often better then a master of one.

The most important thing, and something that I think all of us guys can do better at....

- Write all my code based on my vague explanations: That's part of my job that I enjoy, figuring out what the user wants and needs from their less-than-crystal description.
- Create amazing UI/UX, design and and graphics: I like doing this kind of stuff, which is a good thing. Everyone else in my group hates doing UI and thinks I'm weird.
- Creates the perfect marketing campaign: I don't see how this relates to the other options, unless you're a one-person-shop.
- Make my code bullet proof: All of the tools and mechanisms I've ever seen for this sort of thing worked mostly by making it hard to write software... period.
- Take my app and make it work on every device: Unless you wrote DOOM, this isn't always necessary.
- Handle all my meetings and emails and social events so I can just code: You can't code without communicating with those for whom the software is written.
- Something even better (please add a comment): An AI refactoring tool that would convert old code written by others to my style and preferences, including choosing good names for things.
- No thanks. Not interested: A wee bit cranky today aren't we?
- This is a trick question. It'll never do something perfectly: Still cranky. Go drink some coffee and come back when you can be civil.

The end game of AI is to replace humans. Elon Musk knows this. Anyone with half a brain knows this.
If we are going to use AI it needs to be controlled and moderated and used for only special institutions and scenarios (medical, safety, deep space exploration, etc.)
Putting people out of jobs, probably not a good application. Recognizing peoples faces and invading privacy, probably not a good application.
Just saying...

Where AI does all the work and humans become fuel for the AI machine complex.
I don't want AI/Machine Learning touching anything that I am working on. I feel that way today, and mostly everyday, all the while knowing that Machine Learning(AI) can and will save lives, which I think is ultimately the only reason to use AI in the first place.
Once you remove the human element from everyday life, then it's game over.

well, if the toothbrush also has a screen that can be controlled from an external computer that's eleventy jillion times more powerful than one that just uses a sensor to look at a test strip and count if it sees 1 or 2 lines.. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
