I'm not talking to computers still. It's a border I just can't cross. Like I'd literally rather stop and type on my car display than try to voice in a destination. And I'd if I'm cooking and my hands are greasy wash my hands and pick up my phone and tap in a timer for 5 minutes rather than try some "set timer for 5 minutes" voice command. Not sure I ever will start talking to computers, but not this year at least. Anyone else feel the same way? It's part because in public it feels extremely dumb. But mostly I think it's the frustration. At least fumbling on touchscreen characters is a known frustration. Trying to voice-in a Scandinavian street name is worse.

This is neat right up until "monetize", where everything flips from being a potentially cool community group of reproducible actions, to a pile of spam and bot-generated bullshit

The "keynote" (is that what we're calling advertising videos now?) was pretty awful, and I'm unconvinced that making people unable to even use smartphones (which has already supplanted computer literacy for most) is progress. Extra negative taste points for wanting a "cool SUV" for a trip to London.

How else are you going to drive there from Santa Monica?

Yeah when I read it felt the wannabe tech bro vibes, trying hard to look like Apple from the get go is not a good sign.

I agree that it's really dumb, especially in public.

I mostly agree and was happy to hear that you could shake the device to bring up an on-screen keyboard to use on the touch screen.

I set timers while cooking with speech all the time and I don’t see why that seems weird to you. I just think of it like some natural language parser helping me do something instead of talking to myself. Is it talking to yourself you find strange?
