The best new use for AI that I've seen, a prank generator. Even if it doesn't come up with new and novel pranks, it might suggest a few that are heretofore unknown to most. I'd have to say that the ones I had a part in were mainly variations on previous themes. Since we were engineering students, there had to be a solid engineering aspect to them to (unofficially) avoid repercussions. They also couldn't cause too much damage or injury. I expect it's harder these days with CCTV aimed at everything. We had to make sure we didn't leave behind any incriminating evidence.
