I'm pretty sure we will continue to develop a different voice for appliances like we do when talking to kids or pets only this time it will be overly articulated orders with raised voice. This will indeed blend over into talking to subordinates.

I find speaking to an LLM as if it were a human to be far more effective than barking orders at it. Although this is less true of some models compared to others if they've been fine tuned to respond to that sort of thing. Even still in general I don't find barking orders to be very effective.

I would love if we started talking to voice assistants like they talk to the computer in star trek.

There's kids growing up called "siri" so I'm sure the phrase "HEY SIRI" will be quite common in some households.

Well that is already how the military operates. Barking orders.

But in real life we don't really have 'subordinates'. Even an exec has to be careful with how they treat their assistant least they make a complaint to HR for harassment. And rightly so, businesses are not the military. We don't have this unconditional Yessir obedience. In fact I'm surprised the military still gets people willingly putting up with that.

I don't think this will carry over to human interaction in the real world. We don't talk to each other like we talk to Siri either.

This is really not how the military works.

People mistake depictions of boot camp for day to day operations.

(Which is to say, the military is a highly regimented organisation, but the idea that it's all about blind obedience is very much not the case)
