I already hate people who send voice messages in a world where dictation software exists. I hate whoever even thought of joking about this even more.
But dictation software would omit crucial parts like ummms, coughing etc
Dude you’re not thinking about it the right way. We can define a new multi byte character set to help define mood (both speaker and listener), intention, irony, sarcasm, sincerity, bodily functions, and so on. This is a solvable problem.
You missed a /s marker
I assumed it was obvious because honestly who would do that
The dictation software we have is pretty shitty though. It almost always needs proof-read, or re-dictated several times to get it right. At that point you may as well just send an audio clip.
Until the day that dictation software gets it 100% correct, it’s not going to be worth my time.
For now, the human on the other end will always have an easier time understand an audio clip than a machine, because human minds are more capable of using context and getting past regional accents.
Most of the times I get a voice message it could be written in two sentences, but they still decide to make it a two minute voice message. Just a lot of useless stuff added for free
Sorry, hon. It’s hardwired into humans to add in code for “I am alive and not cackling mad or suicidal yet today” during “conversations.” It would probably be more effective at screening for bots than captcha, but not as good at training bots.
I have literally given up friendships from people that wouldn’t stop sending me voice messages.
I accept it from family, kids, the elderly and such. I just can’t believe people want me to turn off my music and slowly listen to your shitty voice when I can easily multitask.
I just never set up my voicemail. Then people who actually have a chance of successfully contacting me know not to even try the phone.
All my comments would just be Rick Astley
I hate it
But all the extroverted programmers will love it
