The fact that we interact by voice leads toward a sort of inadvertent theory-of-mind about the other party, which makes the pulling away of the curtain with so many of the answers much more jarring. Voice interaction seems to recruit a much deeper evolutionary expectation than the much more recent phenomenon of typing and reading.

Yes! I wonder whether that's an argument in favor of things like deliberately using quasi-robotic styles to help people recognize the limitations faster. It'll be interesting to see what product designers come up with and how the market adapts to this.

That's some heavy speculation.
