But that's still direct communication. It's not involving an intermediary. Perhaps I misunderstood the question. I took it as meaning the elimination of all direct communication, not just voice.
- marssaxman 1y agoEither I don't understand what you mean by direct communication, or we have different impressions of what the "indirect phone" proposal meant. What I heard didn't sound so different from the way I already use my phone - I almost exclusively send and receive messages, asynchronously, rather than having synchronous voice conversations. I thus took the proposal to be about automated ways of generating and digesting these messages. What were you envisioning?
- JohnFen 1y agoWhat I mean by "direct communication" is that my words go directly to who I'm talking with and their words go directly to me. I'm interpreting "indirect communication" as used in the OP to mean that I tell an intermediary (an LLM in this case) what I want to say, and the intermediary says it for me (and vice versa). I wasn't thinking that the medium used (voice, text, whatever) was an important part of the direct/indirect distinction.
