The end of typing? Why workers are suddenly ditching their keyboards

TL;DR

Workers are swapping keyboards for whispering into AI voice dictation tools – a trend Reid Hoffman branded 'voicepilled' last autumn. The Guardian asks whether the shift will boost productivity or just make open-plan offices unbearable. A snapshot of how AI is rewiring everyday work rituals.

Nauti's Take

Solid upside: Voice dictation often beats typing for first drafts of long emails or briefings. Risk: It is genuinely disruptive in open-plan offices, and cloud voice tools raise unresolved privacy questions.

Looks great for solo or remote workflows – in shared offices, expect pushback before productivity gains.
