    I would rather do almost anything than talk to a device, except in very specific circumstances.

    I set timers and play music on a smart speaker somewhat often.

    Occasionally, when I am alone, know exactly what I want to say, and my hands are full, I might dictate a text message.

    But other than that, I will not be talking to my device, thanks. The human voice is primarily for talking to other humans, with all the imprecision and uncertainty and emotional resonance that entails. Keyboards are great tools designed for precise computer input, and I would like to continue to use them.
