I think I remember a light hearted Sci-Fi story from when I was growing up where the machine spoke with the repairman to guide him on repairing it.

That could seriously happen with LLM AIs. Imagine a hardware switch that activates a single board computer (SBC) with a mic, a speaker, a connection to the printer or copier to read status messages, and a LLM that cam answer questions about the device.

Companies (and secretaries) would love the one brand of printer or copier that helped you fix their machine.
