I mean a text interface - it’s more like if you went to a restaurant and there was no menu so you had to ask the waiter everything, but he also spoke absolutely no English so you had type out your questions on your phone for him - the latency while the model collates the data is not good

I’m still waiting for voice commands for controlling your computer to take off.

They’ve been around since at least the 90s, but the keyboard and mouse still are dominant.

Will well performing voice models eliminate the need for touchscreen devices?

Do you really want to vocally explain everything to your computer? Every move of the cursor? Every word typed, backspace, every button click?

That only works in Star Trek because it's a plot device. In real life I think that would be insanely tedious.

Yeah, I definitely want to buy a $1,799 mobile device from OpenAI that has a dynamic, AI-generated user interface I navigate by voice.
