    Older people such as myself tend to hate voice-to-text I think because it was so awful in the past. And if you screwed up with it in the past it was a less understandable excuse that “I was using voice-to-text.” And because we were all forced in some way to learn to type well.

    Voice to text works a little bit better now. And I think younger people know everyone else uses it and to forgive when it screws up.

      I hate it because it’s generally intensely US-centric. Not understanding non-US accents or terms.

      Voice to text is better for you now than it was in the past? I remember in 2014 voice to text worked great for me. Now it hardly ever works.

      It worked better five years ago before they replaced the existing algorithms with AI bullshit. Keeps adding slurs to my dictionary too since they replaced keyboard prediction with modern AI and so many people use slurs Google just assumes I do too.
