what i find interesting is that this app superwhisper is just AI speech to text, mostly based on local open weights models like whisper (though also giving access to proprietary cloud-only models). they’re charging a subscription for text to speech. and it’s all for the sake of slopcoding faster. amazing. if you haven’t seen someone use speech to text to slopcode, look up videos of people sincerely using AI to slopcode, it’s incredible how the paths of software engineering diverged.

edit: and of course the main bottleneck when having an AI do shit isn’t the talking, it’s the AI actually doing the stuff that by far takes the longest.

edit again: i missed the free plan, oops. still, a speech to text subscription is ridiculous.
