Hustle culture nonsense aside, I find using whisper (AI) transcription instead of typing to be super efficient.

My workflow involves setting up a whisper server, downloading the Whispering(1) app on my computer, and binding it to a shortcut on my keyboard and mouse. Whenever I want to write something down, I just hit the shortcut, dictate and it transcribes instantly. With a Nvidia GPU (1070 in my case), transcription is nearly instantaneous. Although I haven’t set it up on my MacBook yet, I suspect it will be just as fast with Apple Silicon

You can also use an API like grok, but I'm generally wary of such services.

I'm a bit of an introvert, so I found talking out loud to be awkward at first. But now I can't go back to regular typing, given the efficiency gains.
