My wife's cousin passed away last week, he was only 32. He was born with cerebral palsy and was in a wheelchair his whole life, he only had limited use of one of his arms. Never got to run and play and do anything that kids usually do. He wasn't expected to survive very long but he beat the odds. Eventually he got too big for his mother to care for him, she couldn't lift him into the bath or do any of the things he needed done, so he moved to a group home.
He had an Amazon device in his room, and learned how to use Alexa. He could call his mom or grandparents whenever he wanted, just by doing the "Alexa, call ---". He was a history buff, so he would ask Alexa questions about US presidents, or football, or whatever he was thinking or talking about. He didn't need someone to hold a book in front of him or read to him. He could access that information by himself.
I know there's a lot of hand-wringing about AI and all the dumb shit people do with it, but I thought it was pretty cool to hear about a way that it actually helped someone who really needed it.
