- Have you benchmarked your speed on text vs non-text controls that are otherwise equivalent? (i.e. both are button presses, both are always in the exact same location, ...)?
- Have you benchmarked how this changes as you loose the similarities? Does this benchmark measure "time to complete task" or "time spent looking at control" (turning a physical knob vs a screen slider)
- have you benchmarked your speed for fixed-location controls vs controls which may be buried in a menu item on a touch-screen?
Do these benchmarks change if the control has delayed onset (pressing "play" takes 2 seconds to start the music, and you get no tactile response to tell you if you have successful pressed the button or not)
Have you benchmarked how these skill comparisons decay with impairment? Do they decay equally, or does the text-based skill decay faster?
Look, given this is HN I fully believe you are in the upper 99% on several aspects, making you with text controls faster than me with manual. But the question is would YOU be faster with text or manual? And how consistent is this?
That's going to work great when you are driving home in the rain from a dentist visit and cannot get it to understand when you say "turn on windshield wipers".
Wait-- are you claiming that AI is a bigger technological change than the development of computing devices and a networking infrastructure for those devices?
Well, is the computer revolution bigger than the electricity revolution? They just build on each other. But it might be interpreted as the next new abstraction that causes major changes in the industry.

Heck, this doesn't even require them to catch the perp.
