You're too sophisticated and experienced to be predicting voice as the next interface :)

I feel like I've been hearing that prediction for years, and it keeps coming back to a principle of feedback - the visual gives us immediate feedback on what is happening. Also - we haven't had enough time to implicitly trust voice will work in different contexts. I use it, but in situations that are very particular for it. Love the newsletter, thank-you!

I admit that point. I do think it's a little away, but I also think it might come sooner than we think.

For instance, a few years before the arrival of ChatGPT, general-purpose AI like that was thought to be many years away, if not decades, even among AI experts. With an AI device from OpenAI on its way within two years, we might see a voice-first interface then, too.
