Early hands-on: OpenAI dot feels rushed but voice + tool use impresses

User manosaie shared first impressions of OpenAI's dot, calling it a bit rushed:

Pros: ChatGPT voice mode remains the best voice experience among competitors; voice + tool/browser/computer use is powerful, opening new ways to get things done without actively managing the AI.
Cons: it would have impressed back in August, but raised expectations make it feel underwhelming now.
