Remember Microsoft insisting, in the late 90s, that the natural evolution of computer interfaces was that _voice_ would become the primary interface? (This was after they'd largely declared defeat on their _previous_ "this will change everything" future UX, Windows for Pen Computing).
For every _actual_ revolution in human-machine interaction, there are roughly a million things that pundits and/or vendors say will definitely be the next revolution.
Absolutely true!!!, there will always be a 1000 wrong ideas for 1 true revolution. Sometimes these pundits would be over ambitious in their thinking or off with their timelines. What MSFT said about voice is actually coming true now with AI Voice Agents as we speak..
There is already a growing number of people who use tools like super whisper to interact with agents.
At work I'm building a "chief of staff" kind of a voice agent where you simply verbally give it tasks and it goes and gets stuff done.
Also do have a look at the latest announcements from open AI on their realtime voice
MS had great tech demos of their voice control stuff in the late 90s. Given the history I will believe this is a thing when significant numbers of people (like, hundreds of millions, not the early adopter oddball class who buy VR headsets and palmpilots and other never-quite-made-it stuff) are using voice as their primary interface with computers, and not before.
