I was surprised to find after using dictation heavily all year that I actually talk a load of rubbish when I'm speaking, using all kinds of cliches and fillers and saying way more than was needed.

Yes, I feel very similar. Maybe it's just that my verbal intelligence is lower than average but it feels that the signal to noise ratio is much lower when I speak off the cuff vs when I type.

Same experience. Faster, but also much more filler.

My spouse and I have a rule that if we think a discussion is going to be emotionally charged, we have it over text in different rooms.

It sounds autistic, but writing and reading allow you to be much more precise, careful, and deliberate with your words and helps reduce impulsive outbursts.

This has worked really well for us, as crazy as it sounds.

Not everyone. I, at least, definitely overthink what I type, and while I end up with nice-ish sentences in my prompts it takes a lot longer than a train of thought that the AI parses correctly most of the time anyway.

Yes, of course I wasn't trying to speak for everyone. Just my personal experience :)
