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.
