Voice is only good in the context of something that is high priority(e.g talking to a customer service agent) / highly satisfactory (e.g talking to a friend in real time).

Otherwise humans hate that interface.


Setting aside the blind and others with challenges for whom voice has the potential to be (if it isn’t already) a magical interface, I find it great for my HomePod for very narrow use cases. Wake me at 7am. Tell me the weather forecast for the weekend. Have I received any new messages?


Voice is a good interface for people who can’t or shouldn’t look at a screen. CarPlay for example, could have a lot more powerful voice capabilities.


Lmao what on earth is this crap.

Perhaps you software engineers are in a bubble - people I know from accountants, portfolio managers to mechanical engineers are barely using AI - they use it more to tell jokes.


The reality people don’t want to accept.


Where’s all the great products that have meant to be come about because of llm’s?

At some point the “oh the models only improved recently” won’t work anymore.


Boosters will say the org is shaped wrong!!
