A portion of the leading edge is already talking to their computers. First it was wiring up Wispr to your agent, now you can just enable voice mode in Claude. That paradigm shift just hasn't reached the mainstream yet.

Most people can barely type or operate a computer, so I think it will be a boon to many folks to have a voice/agent interface to their computing. I agree that a local model that's "good enough" will suffice for most general tasks. There's no need to call Mythos to "add cheese to the shopping list" or "summarize today's emails". Harder tasks will call out to stronger models, but many people just won't need that power.

I suspect all the platforms are keenly aware of this, and Apple will drop Siri v2 or whatever when they're satisfied with their UX and more confident the agent won't go off the rails.
