A machine learned pet translator perhaps... they're actually working
on that app, Amazon amongst others.
So, it seems the big players Google as well, are running in that
race... think of the potential market of pet owners forking over their
hard earned money to hear what the Google machine is telling them
their dog is telling them. I can imagine the marketing folks dreaming
about that market. As an aside also a commentary on how out of touch,
we humans have become from the world in which we exist. People already
understand dog language :)
Of course teaching the AI requires lots of training examples, so you
will need people to translate what their dog is saying to create the
training examples. Google will probably try to get people to do this
online, similar to the way they got visual identification training
examples. But the really interesting point is that not only do people
understand dogs, it's also the case that dogs understand people. So
when Google's dog->human translate says, "Fido says the mailman is
here." will Fido be able to listen to that and say, "Rowf" -> "That's
right."?

What I think would be a wild application of machine learned systems is
in tackling the decoding/deciphering of lost ancient human languages
and record keeping systems (such as the Inca knotted strings for example).
Wouldn't that be cool... AI helping us humans learn about our own lost
cultural heritage.

Are you suggesting that fun is useless?
I can agree that the idea that fun has some use is not much
funny, but that does not make it false.
“Useful” is quite relative, also. Flies have no use of spider webs.
