Why, why would you say that? Parent leaves for work, parent comes home from work with income. Is it because sex work is dangerous? So is fishing, and pizza delivery, and construction. Is it because sex work wears down your body? Plenty of general contractors, nurses, and landscapers have jobs that are more physically demanding. I genuinely do not see how, if someone has a reasonable separation of work/home, it would…

The idea that the person who gave birth to you is being used to pleasure random men for money is psychologically traumatizing because every child treasures and looks up to their parents (or wants to). Their life and identitiy is intertwined with yours and their decision or vicitimization is also by extension affecting you. You want your parents to be valued and respected. You would think sex for money is valuing but…
>If that doesn't make sense to you, I suggest taking off the ideological glasses. You might want to check and see who is wearing the ideological glasses. You are the one who has the hangup here. Sex is. People enjoy sex. People can enjoy sex with close intimate partners or flings. People can enjoy sex or perform it for money. Not all sex work is penetrative either. You've got a narrow and restrictive view of the worl…

Human psychology is not a world view. This is not a matter if opinion. You are just stuck on an extremist view where sex is cool in a ll context when it isn't.

Do you have evidence for this? As far as I understand, speech recognition accuracy for Indian languages is basically non existent outside research demos.
I believe parent is talking about a focus on Voice UIs like Voice Notes and Messages. Not transcribing the voice into text, but the voice itself.

You're right, it's not a matter of opinion, and in this case you are the one with the wrong opinion.

In India, voice-based UIs are extremely important in the local app ecosystem, because of wide illiteracy in rural areas.

> India is the second quickest nation to adopt voice-activated technology, just behind the US. More than three-quarters (76%) of the users are familiar with the speech and voice recognition technology. As a result, Hindi is the second-most commonly used language on Google Assistant, behind the English language.

> Voice is enabling access even for users in India who cannot afford a smartphone. Voice technology works even on a simple Jio feature phone running KaiOS. Priced between Rs 700 to Rs 1400 price range, these phones are used by 100 million people. While these entry level phones don't have the fancy capabilities of touch, they still come equipped with technology that is helping ordinary Indians in far-flung villages and towns use voice as their primary interface to navigate their phone and access a ..

99.9% of humanity is on my side on this. You're free to have your opinion just keep in mind it isn't valid just because you say it is. I told you how things are and you did not refute what I said, you just made ideological statements and mental gymnastics to help you hold on to your opinion. The world is not as black and white as you want it to be.
Citation very much needed.
> I told you how things are
You very much did not. You shared your opinion, just like you did with the 99.9% "statistic". Get over yourself.

It was obviously a guesstimate not a statistic. It was my opinion but it is also correct, go outside and ask random people how they feel about this and find out for yourself.
You are clearly unable to have a discussion in any sort of good faith. You cannot just assert things are true and then say, "Well, they were just my opinion, but also they are axiomatically true."
I'm done. You'll probably tell me that I'm being ideological or something, but I don't have the time to argue with someone who isn't able to engage in a productive dialog. (Either the "we have different opinions, and that's ok, let's talk through them and listen" or the "here's some factual discussion, with some sources that aren't anecdata.")
