Re: GPT-4o... Good gravy. I can think of no greater waste of time than talking to the bot on your phone. LLMs are growing on me as a means to obtain quick baseline info, but that's it.

I've always been suspicious of the scifi fantasy of talking to our computers. Is it really easier to say "computer, lights!" Than to flip a switch? Are people going to sit in coffee shops or cubicals talking out loud? Most people prefer to text other human on stupid virtual keyboards than to be forced to talk.

I don't think there is no place for it. It is nice to be able to tell my wife's Tesla to turn on the dome lights, but only because the controls are buried in a menu somewhere. Likewise there are times I want to use some obtuse software like Blender and after searching for a tool, view, or setting I'd appreciate just being able tell the computer to do it.
