St. Louis Linux Users Group Thursday, May 22⋅6:30 – 9:00pm Monthly on the third Thursday TOPIC: AI and Coding with Voice Presenter: Craig Buchek <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sluug.org/bio/Craig_Buchek&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw3CeYYJOoT7tdXDUU0nwYis> Writing to Your Best Friend For Fun and Profit Ever since he was 16 (1987), Craig dreamed of controlling his computer with his voice.It is nearly 40 years later, and he's is not much further along in making that dream a reality.Lately, he's been giving it some more effort.The journey can provide us with some valuable insights, along with some curmudgeonly rants. In this two part series, we will explore where we are with speaking to the computer. In the first part (Wednesday May 14), we covered dictation, voice control, and text-to-speech.In this second part, we will explore using voice with Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) and coding. AI is changing how we do a lot of things. This includes how we interact with our devices, especially when we're writing code. We will demonstrate conversations with AI assistants like *Claude *and *ChatGPT*. We will then do some *voice coding with GitHub Copilot*. Finally, we will demonstrate *Cursorless*, an entirely different way to think about interacting with code.
