"Okay google" is so gross. Totally the apex of imposed advertising.

Physically recoil in fact, like a bitter taste in my mouth.

However, as opposed to some assistant turning imaginary 'pages' in .epub, sitting alone in focused dictation is a really great way to explore your mind and have free roaming thought processes.

It is also not new in any sense, e.g., Dostoyevsky dictated The Idiot to a stenographer.
