You would think that the audio based assistants like Alexa, Siri, Cortana, etc have all been out more than long enough to clearly demonstrate that voice as input is incredibly inconsistent and only truly convenient for a limited amount of use cases.
I get that all the sci-fi these execs grew up with had it all over the place, but the market research shit is all long done and dusted.
But what am I saying? DATA FOR THE DATA GOD! ANALYTICS FOR THE PANOPTICON THRONE!
In order to do voice, the device has to be listening. If the device is listening, you can collect that data.
Absolutely not.
Microsoft has tried promoting hardware-specific AI capabilities, ... and then “Copilot+ PCs” in 2024
just like to interject for a
moment. What you're refering to as a PC, is in fact, Copilot/PC, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Copilot + PC. PCs are not an operating system unto themselves, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Copilot system made useful by the Copilot corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Microsoft.
My god... we're witnessing þe miracle of þe birþ of a new copy-pasta.
