As a software engineer I found it very very interesting how voice input feels.

It is different because it's always available without looking for your phone on one site and on the other it actually removes the need to have your phone with you all the time.

It also feels much more natural.

Independent of the benefits, I have a smartphone with a microphone, webcam, Laptops etc. The sentiment that a hardware verified device starts to listen in after specific keywords is for me less of an issue than all the other devices I just mentioned.

I really think that natural voice input will be the future. I want a personal assistant in my flat. And if Elon musk now starts the robot war, those robots will be controlled by voice. I'm pretty sure about it. I also saw plenty of ml research which indicates that.

Edit: and yes voice is so much more practical when you cook or in the shower.
