We can call it AI but ultimately that’s just a piece of software I could in theory buy once and forget about

Text to speech already existed and doesn’t need AI. Photos admittedly if I could have a sovereign version of Google photos that incorporates some of those features that was FOSS and offline, then ok maybe that’s something useful “AI” can do.

I’m reasonably tech literate though and the idea of even exploring if such a thing is possible seems like more pain than it’s even worth

Just taking this opportunity to remind Americans that you already pay a far higher portion of the public purse into your healthcare system than any nation with universal care. You get basically nothing for it while we get cradle to grave coverage for every citizen regardless of our socioeconomic status.
