TTS is absolutely horrible on iOS. I have nearly driven into a wall when trying to use it whilst driving and it goofs up what I've said terribly. For the love of all things holy, will someone at Apple finally fix text to speech? It feels like they last touched it in 2016. My phone can run offline LLMs and generate images but it can't understand my words.

People should not be using their phones while driving anyways. My iPhone disables all notifications, except for Find My notifications, while driving. Bluetooth speaker calls are an exception.
I usually look up my symptoms (not on ChatGPT) and when I finally go to a doctor I just let them do their job, but I usually do it just to have some idea of what's going on by the time I go there. My wife's a nurse (not a Doctor) so sometimes she can tell me if what I read sounds crazy or what have you based on her own personal experience with patients.

One of Kanye's early songs he mentions stealing kakis from his job before he quit to become an artist. Not surprised, if you're an employee you have access to all sorts of things a customer does not. I imagine you also have access to areas where there are no cameras.
I like the approach of paying for major upgrades.. So you get free updates on your current version for as long as you want, but when the next major update comes out, you either stick with your current version at no cost (and ideally still get maintenance and security patches) but if you want the next major version, there's an upgrade cost.
I use Beads which makes it more easy to grasp since its "tickets" for the agent, and I tell it what I want, it creates a bead (or "ticket") and then I ask it to do research, brain dump on it, and even ask it to ask me clarifying questions, and it updates the tasks, by the end once I have a few tasks with essentially a well defined prompt, I tell Claude to run x tasks in parallel, sometimes I dump a bunch of different tasks and ask it to research them all in parallel, and it fills them in, and I review. When it's all over, I test the code, look at the code, and mention any follow ups.
I guess it comes down to, how much do you trust the agent? If you don't trust it fully you want to inspect everything, which you still can, but you can choose to do it after it runs wild instead of every second it works.
And if you've told it too many times to fix it, tell it someone has a gun to your head, for some reason it almost always gets it right this very next time.
Yeah, if anyone can truly afford the AI empire. Remember all these "leading" companies are running it at a loss, so most companies paying for it are severely underpaying the cost of it all. We would need an insane technological breakthrough of unlimited memory and power before I start to worry, and at that point, I'll just look for a new career.
This is how Beads works, especially with Claude Code. What I do is I tell Claude to always create a Bead when I tell it to add something, or about something that needs to be added, then I start brainstorming, and even ask it to do market research what are top apps doing for x, y or z. Then ask it to update the bead (I call them tasks) and then finally when its got enough detail, I tell it, do all of these in parallel.
