That works in isolation, but not when you're not home. Do you want to talk to your phone in a public restroom, or the subway, or in the office?

I don’t know about you but freaking out all my fellow toileteers with loud phone conversations about my kinky exploits is one of the purest pleasures in life.

From what I've observed, people have no problem talking to other people in public places. I don't see why this behavior would change for non-human listeners.

I regularly use speech-to-text transcription publicly. With my mouth close to the mic, I can speak softly enough that people outside of my personal space can't hear.

That being said, keyboards still have their place. Certainly, I use ChatGPT on my phone several times a week using keyboard input, and it's not particularly onerous.

Personally I’m mildly disturbed at the legion of people currently staring at and tapping at their phones suddenly switching to muttering at them.

Once your chat voice listener can access your private information like bank accounts, etc., I imagine things will listen to you everywhere. Perhaps every phone or device will be listening like Find My Devices except being Take My Money.

People do that already. It's just that when they do so it's normally a phone call.

There's no reason people couldn't make interfaces that use the same speaker as a phone call does.
