alt Hacker NewsHave you never... asked a person a question? to do something for you? to pass the salt? what time it was?
Maybe you're a little strange but it cannot be that much of a stretch for you to consider using speech to ask for things.
Not wanting to hide things behind Internet connected computers is fine, being unable to imagine wanting to use your voice to ask for things is a little silly.

I am not sure if you are stupid or trying to sound like a stupid person. Have I ever asked a person a question? That's what you are asking me after I said I don't want a computer assistant? And you call me strange? Can you take your passive aggressiveness and shove it up your ass?
Not OP but for me it comes down to "asking a person" ≠ "asking a device". Besides just to be pedantic one of the thing you've described is not something an llm would be able to do, and for the second one... That's what watches and clocks are for. You don't need to have a datacenter running smwh in the world or a beefy PC to take a glance at the time. If you think you do, I personally wouldn't call others "a little strange" if I were you.
