I've seen two hype waves around chat/voice interfaces before, making me a bit skeptical about whether those can ever work. First one was when Intercom and co were a big deal (2012 or so), and every website just had to have a chatbox. Then Alexa and co launched a few years later. Tons of experimentation with voice that didn't go far. Sure, we have AI now, but I am still skeptical. Voice/chat are so imprecise and slow compared to a keyboard and a mouse (or even fingers on a touch screen).

But I am always happy to be proven wrong. AI has already given us lots of superpowers, maybe there are more to come.
