Talking to AI is worse than typing

Movies often show people chatting with robots to get things done. We have tried to copy this in real life with assistants like Siri and Alexa. It turns out that talking is actually the least effective way to work with these tools.

Researchers found that spoken prompts lead to more errors and poor results. When you type, you can review your words and fix mistakes before sending them. Speech recognition often misses the mark and makes the AI misunderstand your intent.

Typing remains the best way to get a clear answer. If you want the most accurate help, stick to your keyboard. Speaking might feel like the future, but it is not working well yet.
