I saw a puff piece where they tried to promote these at a music festival as helping blind people see the world by having an LLM describe the environment around to them. They will even try disabled-washing to popularize these.
I am acquainted with a blind person that seemed to be pretty happy with that functionality. LLMs are a whole other issue, but this is a legitimately helpful use case for some people.
