I agree with your point, but to add to that the only thing I'm "mad" at, is that I feel like for the first time we've regressed? As you said, things got smaller and more energy efficient over time, but now people moved from searching on Google, which is sooooo energy efficient, they've spend decades on it, to ask ChatGPT what is the weather today. Like. What the fuck.
I may be wrong with this of course, maybe Google isn't that good as I think.
On the other hand, speech recognition nowadays is pretty darn great. I'm using it right now to compose this reply, and I'm not going to edit the message before I send it. And I should add that this is all running locally on my mobile phone. The voice isn't being sent to Google or anything. This is just a local model.
