They may end being able to cut hair better!

A malfunction would certainly be interesting. 😉

Remains to be seen, machines never get tired, or angry.

But (currently) don't have the flexibility, dexterity or agility needed for sports like football (soccer), Gridiron or basketball. Even they are made with some ability to play these sports, I doubt they'll have the ability to compete with humans in my lifetime.

Write a script for Donald Trump.

True, presently they do not, we will not see it in our life times. Wonder what someone from 1918 would think of the world we see today? 😉

I assume they would just need to be programmed and you wouldn't know the difference. 😉

Probably start out with your own daughter and see how that goes first! 😛

I'm sure we will have leagues for machines. It's already started. People aren't invited on the field because, well, they'd get hurt.

I don't think they will ever be able to play classical guitar like Segovia or Julian Bream.

Ah, Segovia. I heard him live in the 1970s at Stanford. He was already an old man then, hobbled out onto the stage, sat down, cradled his guitar on his thigh, and waited. Said nothing. Just waited. The entire auditorium got the message and held its breath. No one dared to sneeze or blow his nose or cough or jostle in his seat; and then Segovia, alone with an acoustic guitar, filled the hall with joyful music. I have never again seen a man hold a crowd so in rapture with so little.

I doubt a guitar-wielding Deep Blue would command such respect, even if it played well technically.
