Sunday thought: The average person types 40 words per minute. They speak 130.

That's 3x faster input just by talking instead of typing.

If you write emails, docs, or messages for work — voice input isn't lazy, it's efficient.

Your keyboard is the bottleneck. 🎤

💰 Dragon vs Voice In vs Genie 007 — 2026 Reality Check

🐲 Dragon: $300-2500 + discontinued
🗣️ Voice In: $60/year but dictation-only
🧞 Genie 007: £40/year + voice-to-ACTION

The difference?
Voice In types what you say.
Genie 007 DOES what you say.

"Reply professionally" → Actually writes the reply
"Create LinkedIn post" → Done

Dictation is dead. Voice-to-action is the future.

I enjoy watching people try to predict the future of the labor market. For now, things are staying the same. Eventually, one of those predictions will be correct. Demand for specialized jobs has changed little. There are no signs that it will shift soon.

Don't focus on the nonsense from the big-tech executive. It's impossible to know the future, and this is especially the case for people in big tech.

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It

One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consistently intensify it: In the study, employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so. That may sound like a win, but it’s not quite so simple. These changes can be unsustainable, leading to workload creep, cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making. The productivity surge enjoyed at the beginning can give way to lower quality work, turnover, and other problems. To correct for this, companies need to adopt an “AI practice,” or a set of norms and standards around AI use that can include intentional pauses, sequencing work, and adding more human grounding.

PSA: There's a difference between 'voice typing' and 'voice AI'

🗣️ Voice typing: Speaks → Text appears
🧠 Voice AI: Speaks → Actions happen

Example:
→ Voice typing: 'Dear John comma I hope this...'
→ Voice AI: 'Reply professionally saying I'll have the report ready by Friday'

Genie 007 does the smart one. Works on any website, learns YOUR writing style.
