People get the value of AI all wrong. It's not supposed to be a one-and-done button. This is why people think AI will make us dumber.
AI is best as a tool to probe the extents of your own understanding of a problem and identify gaps and vagaries. You should interact with it with a full keyboard mentality like you would a fellow human.
We are about three or four years in to a technology that has the potential to be world altering! This is absolutely the time to experiment with form factors and techniques, and challenge our own assumptions of what it is we actually do.
And even if you reject all of that, a utility like this one isn't even incompatible with your vision! Couldn't you program a key to say "explain this concept in clearer terms"? However you work with the tool, this gives you ways to use it better. That...seems really nice!
I'm fully there with ya but I don't understand how a device with such limited expressive power is bringing anything to the table. If you're just using voice, just use voice? Sure, in some sense, it's always cool to try ideas. But IMO anything new would try to improve on subtlety and richness of communication.
Well, to be fair, it is $35 hardware. Perhaps my defense of the idea in general led to some hyperbole about the specific thing.
The value of keys is writing, supporting a composition and editing workflow.
