Something like this is most certainly going to become the mainstream interface for computing. I think the most likely thing that will hit mass market adoption will look much more like the voice interface in Her than a chat app. I couldn't imagine my mom getting much utility out of an app like this but if the AI is good enough I could certainly see her chatting with her phone as if it was a person.

It’s a movie about a humanlike personal AI companion.

I see a great opportunity for chat interfaces like this one among younger audience. Every one knows how chat works, they are everywhere. And file systems or even tags are not so ubiquitously understood.

Would be curious if a study was done on this form of interaction after Siri/Alexa became big.

the problem with voice interfaces is.. How does that work, in public? Late at night when the family is asleep? In noisy environments? During meetings or movies? During conversations with other people?

Movies/tv shows voice interfaces work well because the environment and situations where it happens is 100% controlled and driven by plot. The real world is so much messier...

Members of my family speak perfect English, but have an accent. To this day every auto-transcribed voicemail of theirs is just total gibberish.
