I think you may be missing the intended audience for this — it’s aimed at folks who are visually or otherwise impaired and cannot type using a traditional keyboard/input device.
Speaking to your computer is just as valid as typing into it! I have auditory processing issues, mentally processing speech takes up a significant fraction of my cognitive resources and I don’t really have the ability to just tune it out. Constantly hearing one half of a conversation would impair my ability to work almost as much as being forced to use a keyboard would impair the person who’s talking. I would be asking to work remote or private so that my needs aren’t in conflict with their needs. (Not that you could have guessed this was the case just from my comment, but that’s why I said “I really don’t want…” and not “People really shouldn’t be…”.)
The accessibility potential of AI is vastly understated. I expect this to fill that niche perfectly. The difference would be life changing for millions of people.
I suffer from chronic pain in my hands because I have been programming non stop for the past five years. this really gives me hope to recover without losing my job
