I have only somewhat recently discovered the power of AI dictation tools and the ability to dictate lengthy work — like, perhaps, this blog post! — rather than type everything out. There’s significant productivity gains here. But as this article suggests, it’s not all perfectly aligned — there’s something socially awkward about talking to your computer, and there’s something technologically awkward about your voiced words sent to a server over the internet.
Keep this conversation brewing, please. I’m all for new ways and pressures to find more time in my day.
