An example backing this is voice assistants that DO work, e.g. Talon voice. But these require defining a language, and then they are very accurate and powerful.

I don't see why a voice assistant for the masses couldn't "train it's own users", for example suggesting the language it does expect. But even then, most times people are talking in noisy environments or talk to fast or don't have an understand of how the machine might work. Regardless, who cares. They ruin the audio environment of a home. They're good for setting timers while you're cooking, that's about it.

- tsss 4y agoCar voice assistants do this, but they're still clunky and it takes them forever to list their options. Voice interfaces just like CLI suffer from extremely bad discoverability and presentation compared to GUIs and thus will always be limited to specialty applications. CLIs at least have a league of try-hards and hobby linux users to keep them alive.
