Ask your grandma etc if they would use that. Anyone above 50 these days will probably not give you a nice answer to having to use smartphones or voice assistants that usually understand less than a newborn child.

As someone around that age get off your virtue signaling high horse. People in their fifties today helped build most of the tech you use every day, but even if they hadn’t your implicit ageism levied in service of an accessibility rant is a level of irony that just can’t be ignored.
Considering my own age, it might happen that I just mentioned this because I am rather close to that generation myself.

I seriously doubt people will be comfortable with this stuff unless they have a history with engineering/IT.

You've never met a newborn child.
Happen to have a grown up child. Duh.
Who understood English at birth?
