There are almost an incalculable number of reasons to hate the application of LLMs everywhere (I lead an LLM-heavy project at dayjob, oh my goodness, do I know...)

But the primary one which has absolutely changed the way I work is local #dictation which *actually works* the way I need it to.

I use #MacWhisper for this, although there are a ton of options.

It's all local. It's fast. But the best thing is that it is incredibly good at skipping over "ums" and pauses. It doesn't care if I pause for 30 seconds to think about what I want to say next. There's not a rush because it's going to cancel and send everything to the cloud, half-baked.

MacWhisper also enables this in any type-able field on your whole Mac. I use this *constantly*.
