> Parts of the demo were quite choppy (latency?) so this definitely feels rushed in response to Google I/O.
It just stops the audio feed when it detects sound instead of an AI detecting when it should speak, so that part is horrible yeah. A full AI conversation would detect the natural pauses where you give it room to speak or when you try to take the word from it by interrupting, there it was just some dumb script to just shut it off when it hears sound.
But it is still very impressive for all the other part, that voice is really good.
Edit: If anyone from OpenAI reads this, at least fade out the voice quickly instead of chopping it, hard chopping off audio doesn't sound good at all, so many experienced this presentation to be extremely buggy due to it.
