There aren't many that are practical and useful in the medium time frame of 5-10 years out.

How about:

"In the picture above, is the boy or girl taller?"

And you're going to come up with thousands of these? Adding new ones every day? All that don't screw over people that don't speak the language very well and come from various cultural backgrounds. Also, in five-ten years I'm not convinced that we couldn't come up with something that did really well on these. Interpreting the question is easy, its just a matter of processing the image. There are a few typical visual clues that we use to determine sex. I realize that this is just one example, but I'm not convinced that these are a realistic solution.

And of course there's still my good old fall back position of hiring people in 3rd world countries to handle these types of things. If AI is good enough to make $1/hour at a table, you can easily pay somebody a wage to answer these questions and still make a decent amount of money.

There is no need for a third world country, this service is offered via internet TODAY. If you don't want to pay, you can alternatively implement a system that sends you an email in case of question, you get it on your cell, and reply back, where the bot pickups.
