      This billion-$ industry seems headed for a crash. A well-designed, Jobsian UI will always beat an Alexa/Siri voice assistant. We desire the ambiguity of voice only when we find a human at the other end.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1051622903538565120 …

      When I gave my “Next big thing” symposium to a few VCs Alexa was a few people working on Project C at Lab126, Siri was still new and there were ample experts telling VCs that AR/MR will explode by 2017. #VoiceFirst is a multi-billion $ industry with 100s thousand working on it. https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1051619841466019841 …

      Simon, agree. I think the power will come like it does with human to human interactions, with context. The deeper the context you have the more rewarding the interaction become. We are in the Stone Age with Alexa/Siri with deep context for they are not true personal assistants.

      A machine one wants to talk to seems to be an AI-complete problem. Speaking is an act, and not one the human mind takes lightly. @PaulSkallas will have some Lindy thoughts on that.

      There's no ancient antecedent to speaking to AI. Alexa and Siri are terrible, awkward and alienating. But it's not because they are in the stone age, but because humans want to talk to other humans. You can feel it when you speak to these AI assistants. It doesn't feel right

      Speech is in a different category than text or UI. The only antecedents to speaking to objects is praying to an icon/wailing wall/religious service. Even voice 2 text, which some thought we would be doing more by now has not garnered much traction.

      Paul, I hear ya. The antecedents may very well be humans. Additionally in the late 1800s telephonophobia had a similar discordance with a generation. The original phone needed to be anthropomorphized with the bells as eyes and microphone as nose for some to even use the device.pic.twitter.com/TE1y7v2aR8

      Paul, as to Speech-To-Text. Google and other have shown that it has indeed taken off. One interesting statistic is the youth cohort: 25% of individuals ages 16-24 use voice search on mobile:https://blog.globalwebindex.com/chart-of-the-day/25-of-16-24s-use-voice-search-on-mobile/ …

      Paul, the same research group conducted a similar study when the Macintosh was released in 1984. Over 70% were not interested in owning a computer. Now it’s in their pocket. Here is some empirical insights from the source, this is just voice search growth...pic.twitter.com/40ncMVuitl

          Unless I am mistaken, it would have been impossible for the Pew to have conducted such a survey, because it didn’t exist in 1984.

          Simon, indeed it was at that time called “Times Mirror Center for the People & the Press” and conducted similar type of research.

          But owning a computer isn't the same thing as speaking to AI. Twitter seems like it doesn't have an antecedent but then you realize it's just a bar or coffee house to interact with other people. But where's this antecedent with speaking to AI in history?

          Simon, question, is an antecedent or lack thereof an important marker for you? Having an antecedent for speaking to AI increases or decreases utility in your thesis?
