Prompting is not a “skill.” It is simply a usability burden until better alternatives come along.
Well we never fully relied on speech alone. Think about human history. Face to face communication was the majority of the interface we had. And that includes facial expressions, visuals, and body language all working in concert.
These are for human-to-human communication. First time in personal computer history we can get rid off screens thanks to speaking interface. We can have real accessibility. Imagine a computer disabled people, babies, dogs and cats can interact with. I’m keen to talk to AI tbh.
Love the discussion here. It is super interesting how computer interfaces evolved over time. I had a blast reading this book on that subject. Spoiler alert, the punch cards were the first, if you don't count wiring copper together.
