Personally, I don't like them, because of the asymmetry of effort in sending vs receiving, and that you can't tell how serious it is before listening to it.

I use AI transcriptions and read them. I feel if the person can't put effort into writing, they shouldn't expect me to put effort into listening.

I sometimes send them when I don't have a better way of communicating (e.g. during a quick stop in the car) but I tend to apologise because I know how much of a ballache they are.
