These devices signify one thing and one thing only: computers and laptops have reached a stage where they should be totally hands free now.

From the time I open my laptop, I should be able to do everything from playing a video on YouTube, posting on social media and filling in spreadsheets without even touching the mouse or keyboard.

Computers should be 100% voice operated now. That's what these devices mean. The fact that Microsoft and Apple have only 2011-tier "voice assistants" prove they're behind the curve on this way.

    So instead of being able to instantly and precisely tell my device what i want it to do, I should need to speak to it and hope it interprets my voice and meaning correctly alongside memorizing the specific syntax that it wants?

    Why?

      You're not getting it. You're stuck on a 2011 voice-assistant understanding.

      >Hope it understands
      You have no idea where the technology is at at this point, and your "precision" is overrated. If I tell my laptop to "open the last few spreadsheets I was working on last night", I've immediately outpaced you.

        No, not really. Why did you close Excel since last night? I already have mine open.

        Now you have to work on the spreadsheets. Are you seriously telling me you're going to do that via voice commands?

        So is the Rabbit. Have you seen the reviews? It's terrible. It takes 3 minutes to get you the answer and then it's wrong because it missed a word you said or was continuing to listen as people are talking around you

    There's one reason why voice assisted computing hasn't taken off: talking to your computer is awful for everyone around you.
    Imagine an office with everyone talking to their computer to get work done. Or at a Starbucks. A library, hospital, law firm, courthouse.
    An office or public space would become this cacophonous mixture of noise that makes all thought suffocating.
    A hospital needs to adhere to HIPPA regulations. A law firm and courthouse need to maintain client confidentiality.
    Any sense of confidentiality that using a computer or device would have would evaporate in an instant, because talking to something broadcasts what you are doing, what you are thinking to everyone around you.

      You don't need to remove the mouse and keyboard to introduce voice-control. Voice-control becomes another means of computer operation that's arguably more efficient than point and click.

      Point and click remains, while microphone use and gestures become dominant due to their ease of use. You don't see Tony Stark sit down with a keyboard and mouse when he builds new suits.

        Not what OP was asking for. Just because fictional characters can do something doesn't mean it could actually be real or exactly as written or demonstrated. Then where's my artillery canon to shoot a me onto the moon? Oh wait, the forces involved would immediately crush me into a fine paste.

          Oh yeah you should definitely try using speech-to-text technology to code instead of using mouse and keyboard lol

            Ok then, where's his IR dot emitter/Kinect ass setup allowing for gesture control? Why is his voice perfectly understood in every single environment imaginable despite also being in a place in your picrel resembling a parking garage and not an anechoic chamber? Light itself isn't visible until it reflects back to us, so what possible medium could he be using for holograms? Levatating vibranium is possible in universe, but that doesn't mean Tony has enough money to buy any from Klaw or the Wakandans. Not to mention Vibranium is a literal do-it-all metal that also doesn't exist.

        moronic midwit post for multiple reasons.
        One, shit is presented like that in a (children's) movie to sell the idea that it's high-wealth and high-tech, and because watching RDJ sit at a desk and run Excel or AutoCAD is much less interesting to the audience which is the entire point.
        Two, waving your arms around like a moron is not actually an efficient or precise input method, especially long-term. There's a reason input-heavy genres like RTS or 4X games are nonexistent in VR (which has input functionality exactly like your pic).

          Yeah, I don’t want to sound like an Orange Reddit user, but human voice is an absurdly low bandwidth communication channel. Higher bandwidth than body language, which is why we beat the shit out of other stupid animals (they deserved it) but there’s a reason we shifted to visual forms of communication, like writing, as soon as we could for anything detailed

    Black person, there's a reason voice operated bureautics have been abandoned long, long ago, and it was never technological limitations. Talking all day is slow and absolutely tiring.

    I still feel self conscious about speaking to ChatGPT using earbuds. There should be technology to lipread what you're saying or infer it based on muscle movement on the side of your face so we can voice the words quietly.
