When you're making a big deal out of it being "much harder" because it's "how you never write" and they're saying that's just "not hitting backspace"? No, you don't agree.
Maybe give a ballpark estimate of characters typed per week in this manner versus characters typed where you are doing some combination of: 1) thinking about what you're writing before you write it, 2) punctuating and formatting correctly, or 3) correcting your writing output?
Ridiculous proposition. And I type correctly at 110+ wpm.
It's really easy to ignore typos. And the way you have to approach thinking and correcting is the same whether you're typing or voicing.
If you can't just type the way you would just talk, and you find it notably hard, it's you that's being ridiculous.
Versus never writing in this way.
Have you tried the voice-based prompting, as I'm describing?
> Have you tried the voice-based prompting, as I'm describing?
I've never prompted a thing. I can just see your distinction is nonsense. If you think it's hard you're doing it wrong.
And wow I did that post without revising a thing. Wow.
Sheesh, imagine thinking you choose not to rewind time and "edit" the speech that has already come out of your mouth lmao.
What experience do you insist I'm lacking in something I'm doing right now?
The thing you're claiming is hard, writing exactly the way you would speak, is not hard.
There's also some additional benefit to going with the flow and not thinking about words much before saying them, but that's equally hard with text or voice.
It doesn't matter what text box you're typing in. The ability to type as you'd speak is easy. Without any extra delays or issues.
I hope you're not trying to argue that typing the same way into an AI prompt is harder than doing it into HN. It's just not hard in any situation. Voice isn't special.
No, I think before I speak and say what I planned to say. What do you do, sir?
Good evidence of my point though on how natural this is. People literally don't even notice it as either the listener or the speaker.
Even when a listener is told specifically to listen for and detect errors or self-repairs in speech, listeners will not even detect 50% to 80% of minor repairs. Your brain literally doesn't even perceive them.
