I've always wanted to try to play Zork: AI That Forgets Anything From Four Sentences Ago Edition over an amazon echo, clearly that wouldn't be frustrating at all
I would love to play a game where my inputs go speech-to-text-to-chatbot-to-text-to-speech
who doesn't remember the joy of shouting fus-ro-dah or saying to switch to your hotkeyed items
so much more convenient than hitting RB
now imagine this but for all NPC interactions, how fun!!!!!
i saw a video a while back of some "ai powered game" where you had to try to get into peoples houses by talking into the mic and convincing characters to let you in. the mic stuff was pretty good, a pretty good transcription thing that even translated other languages (like swedish) into english, but the characters were the worst fucking thing ever. they felt soulless, like they were flat cardboard cutouts of people with clothes thrown on top to make them unique. there was nothing that made the characters feel... interesting? and the "end goal" of getting into people's houses felt like it was entirely RNG.
Some people definitely want to be able to select dialogue by talking; someone made a mod for Skyrim that allows that (and shouts). LLM sludge responses are another matter.

I tried to make voice controlled games Amazon Alexa/Echo devices about 5 years ago, the biggest hurdle was that my South East Louisiana dialect/accent would not be recognized by it a good quarter of the time.
