For it to be a good interjection and not feel like a dumb AI that is just babbling in the background, it would need to have proper timing, and relevant information that includes a model of the minds of people talking. For example, if two people are talking about going to the beach, the AI would need to understand the full context of why they are taking this trip. If the trip is just to enjoy the sun, the AI could have something useful to say on that matter, or if the trip is about surfing, the AI would also factor that in, but the crucial point is that this context is not just listening to keywords or predicting the next token. There would need to be several layers of AI, one layer for predicting subject matter, one layer for predicting intention, another layer for predicting the state of the world that is relevant for that conversation, in addition to the layer of predicting word by word what the response is.

this sounds like what I was thinking. I wasn't sure how time would factor into this.
