How all do you use AI/ML in life? Especially offline uses (lemmy.ml)

Speech to text, Voice typing is cool.
F-droid lists opensource apps that support Whisper and Vosk models.
Futo voice is not opensource, but is source available.
It's good for English. For my mother tongue, Malayalam, the support seems to be underdeveloped currently.
Handy seems to be good for Windows, but have not used it much.

Then for Translations: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator/
Using Mozilla's translation Models. A good enough offline and Open source alternative to GTranslate.

Are there other cool uses of offline ML/AI that you know?

My spam filter on my email server. Autocorrect on Heliboard. I think that's it. Luckily I picked up English at a young age so I don't need it for translation.

Also for people having a kneejerk reaction, "AI" and "ML" as terms long predate the current slopwave. The ML I am talking about in the previous paragraph is not genAI, it is the kind of ML to classify things (emails into spam/ham, words into correct/incorrect), that you can feed training data to improve its accuracy rate.

Thank you.
There seem to be offline models for many languages other than English too.

I agree. People need to focus on the AI ownership aspect more. Should it not come under public control or oversight?
