No one? In my opinion we are not there yet. Right now "chat" is the killer UX, I think conversational inputs will take over for a time... right now my killer AI app is a home brew slack bot RAG pipeline for my own knowledge base building and searching... Why share it, its free now... I think this will also be a trend. Those who can, those who cant.



Chat sucks and will be replaced in almost all cases, I suspect. Speaking is much easier for many tasks, traditional UIs for others. Mediating everything through a keyboard is clunky and slow.


Speaking is tiring. And generally also slower than typing.


I very much doubt that speaking is slower than typing, given that basically only stenographers can transcribe things in real time, and that's by using special technique.


Try typing for 4h and talking for 4h.

Leaving aside the problem that you can no longer share a space if you interact by talking.


Talking is still faster, and I can do it while my hands and eyes are occupied, so I definitely don't see typing ever being the preferred interface. You'd never type to interact with an assistant while driving.


Subjective. I much prefer written interactions to spoken


A keyboard is really nice input method, with current technology


It’s also easier to have greater precision over what one says when communicating through text vs speech


Also a lot more flexible over how you use it. Voice communication is difficult on public transport, around sleeping people, in a busy office, etc.

That said, voice can be better for people and situations where typing is hard.


You all took chat as a single type of interaction... "CHAT" as I put it, is typing, talking, screen readers, etc... conversational UX...


Downvotes but you all have the wrong idea. Classic hacker news... "Dont tell me!!" lol, eat a bag of...
