Then a lot of the technology wasn't possible for you to be able to recreate a specific voice or be able to create that in that high quality way. And then of course, as we dived into further and shifted away from the static piece, the whole interactive piece is still crazy in the way it functions where most of us... seen this technological evolution over the last decades, but you still will spend most of your time on the keyboard, you will look at the screen, and that interface feels broken. It should be where you can communicate with the devices through speech, for the most natural interface there is, one that kind of started when the humanity started, and we realized we want to solve that.
