Really great read on the case *against* conversational interfaces:

Key point is that conversational interfaces like LLMs are great for read speed comprehension for humans but not great for write speeds.

We've encountered this first hand while building Gina. As we go over the universe of tasks possible to do with our phones and computers, there are a significant % of them that are easier to execute using a button/voice/emoji rather than type it out. 

We probably converge to a world where we take the best of both worlds and have a UX that can adapt to the task at hand.

Very cool. Would love to trial if releasing publicly

great article. I mostly use dictation for inputs 90% of the time. even on desktop.

I’m building a macros app that voice and pictures only with structured outputs and charts similar to how I make the llms perform. but the lack the organization apps already contain. 

i love the dual input modality concept.

I believe that's his personal site not substack?
