Kate Clark, writing in the Wall Street Journal, looked at the trend of tech startup employees using AI dictation software to turn “rambling” streams of conscious into “coherent, usable text in seconds.”

“Across Silicon Valley, work is being remade as once mellow spaces become dens of din,” Clark wrote. The headline reads: “Typing Is Being Replaced by Whispering — and It’s Way More Annoying.”
