Using something becuase it _might one day be useful_ is pretty weird. Just use it if and when it is useful.


But _everything_ you do initially falls into the category of _might one day be useful_, since you haven't yet learned how to do the thing well.


The claim I was responding to you was that some people use our friends the magic robots not because they think they are useful now, but because they think they might be useful in the future.
