# OpenAI President Greg Brockman: Voice Will Replace Clicking and Typing

> OpenAI president Greg Brockman thinks the keyboard and mouse are a phase. In his telling, we have spent decades contorting ourselves around computers, and voice is the more natural interface that will eventually take over much of the clicking and typing we do all day. OpenAI is backing the claim with product, having brought ChatGPT Voice to the desktop and aimed it squarely at white-collar and engineering work. The trend has enough momentum to spawn its own slang: people who buy the vision now call themselves voice-pilled. One data point they point to is Wispr Flow, a dictation startup now used across more than 450 Fortune 500 companies and growing 150 percent a quarter. The catch is the open-plan office. Talking to your laptop is awkward when a dozen colleagues can hear you, and venture investors note real adoption friction because of it. Wispr's answer is to optimize for whispering, so the future of computing may sound less like a command and more like a quiet aside.
