Something I’ve noticed people do more of recently for whatever reason is talking over others. I’ve noticed in the demos of this that the people interacting with o interrupt it as if that’s the correct method of controlling it. It felt unnatural when I saw it happen, and I even have a hard time interrupting Siri, but I wonder if this is going to ingrain this habit into people even more.


I think they have to for the demo, because otherwise GPT will ramble for roughly 3-5 paragraphs. But that's a fair point that this could teach that behavior.

I've noticed this as well and I posit this is a result of increased use of remote communication and meetings platforms such as zoom since 2020.

My inclination is that the behavior will not correlate with interrupting chatgpt or siri. Seems totally separate to me.


It’s an American thing. I noticed it when I moved here a decade ago. If I wait for a silent moment to speak in a group, it’ll literally never arrive
