    This really ignores that a vast majority of people appreciate some tactility and feedback on what they do. Millions if not billions of dollars have been spent researching the proper feedback to provide to users. I admit some workflows can be overly clumsy or burdensome, but even assuming AI functioned correctly and did the things it’s supposed to this is still incredibly delusional.

    I mean, I don’t expect anything from Microsoft anymore, but the disconnect here between what they are attempting to promise and what people even want is growing at alarming levels.

      You mean you are not excited about gaming with voice prompts?

      Me: “run forward but not too fast. Aim at the balls and shoot just before it attacks you back and then reload and turn left while crunching.”

      AI: According to Wikipedia, to run forward but not too fast is considered a fallacy. A better way to say it would be “Sprint forward while accelerating”

      The future will be fun!

    To me, this sounds like the fantasy of slave ownership all over again. They wouldn’t demand exact written orders, either.

      My last office was almost paperless! When I started I was inventorying the IT infrastructure and asked about printers. “Meh, there’s one over there, think it still works.”

        The early paperless offices were ‘paper is explicitly banned’. It was really weird, and they seemed so proud.

    You can really tell that the tech industry just blanket laid off all of the UX researchers, otherwise they would have explained to them how dumb this is

      Just imagine, tho, if the words effortlessly flow out of you. That’s the ultimate goal.

      Speaking to an AI that abstracts away commands is separate from that.

        I get you, but I can’t write like that. The keyboard slows me down, gives my brain half a beat to think ahead to the next sentence or point.

        If I’ve written anything longer than this comment, I need to read it over, correct, etc.

        Unless I’m dictating a letter I don’t want to talk to my computer. It’s the same as taking on the phone. Most communication is done by text because it’s less effort than talking. Talking is also prone to eavesdropping and interference by other people and noise.

    I was already as done with Microsoft as a person could be, but this is so disgusting.
