    [[ EDIT: Disregard this whole message - I got ahead of myself and none of what I said is based on anything. ]]

    The speed aspect is impressive, but I’m really disappointed about the “natural” conversation feature.

    Like at first, I was super impressed with the presentation, but on the app, there’s one crucial difference: you need to tap to interrupt.

    Watching the presentation, I was thinking maybe there was a continuous input feed, and the AI was reacting to that in real time - so for example, if I said “Ahh, I see”, the AI would hear that, but continue talking.

    However, it seems like the input is still broken up into request/response the same as before, and this is actually just a new front-end (with some improvements in the response).

    So overall, this is kinda neat, but sadly it’s not at all what they seem to by hyping it up as, as far as natural conversation goes.

      I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

        Ahh, that’s very possible, fair point.

        I never used the old voice feature, so I guess I assumed based on how it looked and such. If it actually works the way I’m imagining though, that’ll be insane. I don’t think I’m prepared for that.

        Yep, I did the obvious thing and checked when the app last updated, and it was May 3rd. So disregard every word of that post!
