Maybe you don't want strangers around you hearing you say "Hey Claude wish my grandma happy birthday" as it's not yet morally okay to delegate such social tasks to the models

There is no human connection typing words into a box, that's seems like what it's mostly replacing. Talking to your email client, talking to your AI agent. Lots of us are much faster speaking than typing and especially with AI, it doesn't matter a whole lot in my experience how polished the output is, the benefit from ending up with a lot more text because one can just talk freely is very beneficial.

I can see this being useful on public transport where you don't want to bother people while taking notes verbally. It's not all about avoiding connection.

This is more a keyboard killer than a dinner party killer.

This is a little like replying to a show HN for a new kind of stylus input device with “what’s wrong with pen and paper”
