I'm excited to see this particular technology developing more. From the absolute worst speech systems such as Siri, who will happily interrupt to respond with nonsense at the slightest half-pause, to even ChatGPT voice mode which at least tries, we haven't yet successfully got computers to do a good job of this - and I feel it may be the biggest obstacle in making 'agents' that are competent at completing simple but useful tasks. There are so many situations where humans "just know" when someone hasn't yet completed a thought, but "AI" still struggles, and those errors can just destroy the efficiency of a conversation or worse, lead to severe errors in function.
