In its defence
Schadenfraude is a really fun word to say.

Writers (both storytelling and informative) have a set of skills that is very useful but also entirely redundant unless in a well-developed society.
Humanity will always share information because d'uh. And we will always tell stories and make art, because that is just part of the human experience. But without the overload of information and media AND overspecialisation of labour that comes with an industrial society --
-- We'd just revert to the olden ways where information spreads from person to person organically (there is a lot less of it to go around, after all) and stories/art are just made up by whomever.
Before television and radio, before most people were able to read, people would make up stories to amuse themselves and their friends while doing work. Tall tales around the campfire. Spooky stories while churning butter. These were all things people did in pre-industrial times.
But there would be no need for someone who is 'just' a teller of stories or a sharer of information. So I'd either drop dead or, more realistically, get my ass down with doing manual labour (hey, I might not know how to grow plants, but the amount of time I spend at the gym has gotta be good for something in post-apocalyptia) and save my creative skills to amuse my community during downtime. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Good use cases for AI already exist
And I'm saying this as a certified hater of GenAI
Machine Learning as an invention has already been used for good, useful things. It's just that it never got caught up in hype like the modern wave of Generative Transformers (which is apparently the proper term for those overhyped chatbots and picture generators)

Yes but what is most likely to happen is that some violent mofos will take over large territories and make up their own rules and (...)
Which is what happened the last time there was a societal collapse.
I wouldn't know, but since OP is having compatibility issues, I'd try to get as close to native as I could. Eliminate the room-for-error. Hence the VM with actual Windows.
They can just delete the lot after they've converted their files to an opener format. :P
Mind you there -are- TTS tools that use machine learning (which is what advertisers call "AI" now) for more realistic voices. No idea if the radio was using those at all though.

Not great. My anger issues seem to be coming back big-time after being quiet for a couple years.
It's my second meltdown in two months. That's not good.
Not sure why it's happening. There's definitely a reason. But both me and my therapist are at a loss so far.
