The New Generation Won't Type for You

3•cellis•1mo ago
As a very old millennial back in town for the Holidays, I recently watched my 8,9 and 10 year old nephews/nieces use TikTok in between saying "six seven" or "six seven four one". Every search was done using a voice command. They didn't type one time. Even for very very simple searches, they still chose to voice them, even when they could get much more precise by typing. If they didn't get the videos they wanted, they simply re-rolled until TikTok spat out something acceptable, at which point they proceeded with pressing it and then thumb-upping scrolling.

Make of this what you will.

I would think think trying to talk-work in a cube farm will lead to mayhem. Perhaps phrasing AI queries is "easy", but coding/debugging usually profits from peace and quiet.
