I'm reminded of a an early Asimov story where mute household robots that are as capable and agile as any human are commonplace, but a computer than can talk is unique in the world and the size of a building.
- ghaff 9y agoDon't remember the specific Asimov but that actually surprises me a bit. Many science fiction writers probably underestimated the difficult of building humanoid robots (for household servants or other purposes). But my impression is that computer speech recognition and speech were preseived as being pretty straightforward. See the original Star Trek for just one example.
