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?

It is an unethical technology. I refuse it.

Technology cannot be unethical, right?
It's use/application, safety regulation aspects, ownership etc. would be the focus, right?

The corporations who supports copyrights are stealing data(from others and other corporations) for training AI.
By calling the technology unethical, we are letting them off the hook by making it vague and on the technology, rather that their decision to not provide credit or remuneration for the original data creators, right?

Oh so now it's a soulless regurgitation machine with no agency. Okay. No point in the conversation then.

It is, right?

The AGI and their stuff about sentience seems mostly marketing by the corporates. Have there been any serious changes on it, right?
Tho, our concept of sentience will probably be tested while they actually test if it can be developed.
