This is the kind of thing we should be pointing AI at - actual problems people have that LLMs and perception models can reasonably help with, even with their known flaws.
I want there to be a freely available "robot guide dog providing interactive verbal descriptions of the environment" - one that isn't burdened by a subscription model and that comes with the right to have it modified and/or repaired in perpetuity.

Speak! Robot guide dogs converse with their owners
Since the early 1900s, dogs have helped people who are blind or have low vision to navigate their world. Now, in a very 21st century twist, seeing-eye dogs have gone robotic and added a skill that not even the most well-trained canine could pull off: conversation.
