It is a huge turnoff for me when futuristic series use conversational interfaces. It happened in the Expanse and was hard to watch. For anyone who likes to think, learn, and tinker with user interfaces (HCI in general), it's obviously a high-latency and noisy channel.

I think the expanse nails it quite well. I really like when they move the videos from one screen to another. Or when they interact with the ship, they use all kind of outputs, voice, screens, buttons. For planning together, they talk and the machine renders, but then they have screens or even bracelets to interact.
