OpenAI's Dot UX: Speech Is Linear, Real Value Is Multithreaded
cocktailpeanut · x · 2026-10-23
cocktailpeanut argues OpenAI's Dot has a tragic UX irony: having trained the best realtime speech model, OpenAI wants Dot to work like HER, but speech is linear while the real value comes from multithreaded chat — hard to drive with voice alone. The single-thread design keeps things "simple for normies" at the cost of everything threads unlock. The future of work might not be Samantha.
