This release will start a new age of UIs, where you don't use screens to interact with computers, but instead use your voice. Textural conversations were fun, but the voice functionality is what makes LLMs useful, because speed of communication is now comparable to what you could accomplish with GUI and at the same time a lot more human friendly. In my opinion one of the most important announcements in recent months. Although we will probably need open source competitior.
There are few use-cases where voice-only would be an improvement to screens. Voice-only is extremely limited in its discoverability and the information that it can relay to you.
Imagine going to a restaurant and not getting a menu, instead having the waiter stand there and tell you every menu item.

Voice is serial, vision is parallel and noncontiguous
