Get ready for the whisper-filled office of the future

A Wall Street Journal feature says AI dictation tools are changing office habits as more workers speak commands to their computers.

The shift is tied to AI coding and “vibe-coding” tools from startups like Wispr, with use cases spanning companies such as Gusto.

Some observers say workplaces could start to sound like sales floors or call centers, raising new etiquette concerns about talking aloud at work.

The trend may reshape office culture, collaboration, and the everyday sound of knowledge work if voice-based AI keeps spreading.
