I'm glad we're getting to a point where voice can be the main UI, and that some people are actively using it to their benefit, but I hope it doesn't become THE primary interface, even with AIs.

I find speaking tiresome, somehow, and if I had to talk all the time to my computer with text input being a fidgety "accessibility" option, I'd retire to a monastery and just become a monk.

Agree with the need for different buttons for different voice contexts though.

Though I think it will become a dedicated AI key on some keyboards.. How about the Right Alt/Option on MacBooks? Does anybody use that? It could be the "AI Anywhere" input key, optionally defaulting to voice, and while F5 could continue to serve as a literal dictation key..

Speech also has a lack of privacy, and it can annoy people nearby.

Imagine everyone on public transport speaking in to their phones to navigate and control them.

A microphone sensitive to subvocalization could maybe get around some of these problems, but it'd still be kind of weird.

I upload documents to a remarkable, mark it up, and have Claude build changes there.
