We always knew AI would lead to this one day. But it you ask me that this day is still far away. We‘re not there yet.

I don’t want to meet it.
I thought home assistants already taught us that designated buttons and switches are simply faster and more reliable than voice control?
They are like two to three years out from this being viable in the slightest. If they push this it will be hilariously disastrous.
So basically what they got in XP (or earlier) already but 1000x the power requirements.
Yikes.
I am already uncomfortable when my mom talks with her phone to search Google. But hey, she is 83 years old and her health is declining. Maybe she does not need so much privacy any more.
But here is a sad story: I have two friends, a couple. Both are automation engineers. They could not have kids, which was their life dream. So instead, they re-purposed their energy and built their dream house. A beautiful house. And, of course, with a lot of automation and logic programmed by them. Shutters which open in the morning and close when it is stormy. A shower which plays the right morning radio program. Extra settings for when parents-in-law visit.
But what makes me uncomfortable is voice control by speech recognition. All that cortana/siri stuff. For everything, even switching on the light. I don't like that when I visit people. For me, it is like somebody is always listening, even to stuff that is meant only for my friends ears.
I have not told them, but I don't like that house.

Isn't there a version of win11 like Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC?
Gotta get that. All stripped, just the OS and security.

Hahaha, Ali G is the best! A VERY dumb junglist? What's not to love?
That was Windows 11 user
ironically im sorta hoping to see this with linux were even installation uses a small local chatbot that guides the installation and then the os is chatbot centric where one of the things you do as you use is allow it to use additional resources to get more capability.
in a transparent and optional way it could be good. like even if just with controlling the screen with voice commands, like clicks this, open that. but only if it's fully offline and easily auditable.
I mean online in the same way when you install today it will grab updates (so optional) and I don't want all linux distros to be like this of course. I will be excited by what creative ways it can be used. I would be very annoyed if any linux distro were using a remote part of chat except for downloads. I doubt it would given how expensive it would be.
actually I could see it done online by omarchy. they have the money and the worldview for it

He's been saying this for about 2 years now. This cusp is lasting a really long time.
I don't hate Windows, but it seems like every day Microsoft gives me reasons to be thankful I'm a Mac user.
Either go all in with Microsoft's crap, pay for Microsoft 365, and enjoy the ride — or learn Linux. It's easy, you can run it off a portable SSD. You don't have to trash your Windows installation. You can do it virtually risk free. I recommend Ubuntu for new users, but Linux Mint is another good choice and it resembles Windows more, so it will be more familiar to you. Linux has never been better. It's not just a free alternative to Windows; it is very much its own thing. Or, if you aren't a gamer, and you need new hardware anyway... I'd grab a Mac mini. They're $500 and they do everything you need. Gaming not so much (though we did just get Cyberpunk this year).
