Does anyone actually use ChatGPT’s voice mode? It seems technically impressive, but when I try using it, it feels… deeply uncomfortable talking to a machine like you would a person. Treating it like you would a person feels silly: It’s not a person, it doesn’t have any life experience or anything interesting to say, it doesn’t have real opinions or anything worth talking about that isn’t a direct answer to your quest…

That's why the form factor should be a wand. Flourish it to activate, and speak your spell.

Isn't this a plateaued market? Amazon, Google, and Apple are already entrenched in the space. It's not like any of them have toxic brands like Oracle where everyone is dying to free themselves. Most people are happy with their products. This seems like a tough move...

Judging by how much effort Apple puts into its speakers it isn't a large market, probably not even on the scale of their headphones.

Between Apple's poor quality AI, Amazon continually trying to sell you more stuff and Google flogging your attention to every corporation out there I'm surprised anybody buys these products anymore.
