Automatic speech recognition and speech to text models are also growing up real fast.

But will an illiterate person be able to articulate themselves well enough to get the LLM to do what they want, even with a speech interface?

Will they possess the skills (or even the vocabulary) to understand the output?

We won't know for another 20 years, perhaps.

Thinking that speech recognise is a solution to the illiterate is like thinking that low code tools can replace traditional programming tools. The bottleneck is and has always been the cognitive capacity limits of your average human. No interface can solve the issue of humans being illiterate
