Now imagine how well it works for people with non-"native" accents (even for native, I'd guess that a good Scouse/Glaswegian/Kiwi accent might confuse the hell of those systems as well). It's a disaster and I hate those.

There's a general problem across the tech industry with replacing existing simple and reliable (in a sense of conveying the user's intention) interfaces like physical buttons with stuff that is supposedly "more natural" like speech recognition or swipe gestures that in practice has a much higher error rate.

See also: replacing physical buttons with convoluted swipe gestures on mobile devices in the never-ending quest to make screen as large as possible. When was this ever a user ask?

I feel sometimes like the present UX design is one large LLM-like hallucination.
