Interesting & true to a point.
One must be careful to ensure we don't forgot about the #Deaf & hard-of-hearing population who don't always have full access. Incredible advances in hearing technology(Cochlear Implants) has allowed greater access to speech, but not all benefit.

Indeed! And great points. You know I have been working on a camera based ASL system. In fact I advocate that all elementary students learn ASL to communicate with computers. It is fast and efficient and in my view the best way to silently speak.

The human brain and the brain in general was designed to process sensory data... Speech is just a channel on hearing and sight... But when we get access to direct data(see Musks neuraLink), we will evolve better communications methods, like telepathy...

Zoltán, I hear ya. The way humans communicate primarily is via the voice. This is what you are hearing in your head right now as you read this tweet. So it’s not really about sensory data it’s about a communication channel to the human what I call the human API.

Envisioning depersonalized voice conversations, where a computer acts as a vocalized intermediary between text communications. e.g. “Brian says ‘the human brain was designed to speak’”. Later on, vocal patterns & cadence mapped onto transcripts by extracting from vocal samples
-
One possible benefit of the latter iteration: extremely reduced bandwidth for voice communications. Only the text needs to be sent in the data packet, along with some identifying metadata for the speaker.

Absolutely. 90%+ of all human communication still happens through voice. “AI interfaces — which in most cases will mean voice interfaces — Could become the master routers of the internet economic loop, rendering many of the other layers interchangeable…” - Chris Dixon
