> I have some slight annoyances with how it handles natural pauses as I collect my thoughts and speak

I hate this about all voice assistants. They force you to speak in an unnatural way.

It seems like there’s nothing intelligent about when they decide to respond, it’s like they just wait for X milliseconds of silence instead of using the context of what’s being said like a human would.

Sometimes it’s the opposite problem. You finish asking your question but you gotta wait for the assistant to pick it up whereas a human would understand that you’re finished talking based on what you said.

It might seem small and unimportant but I really think it’s one of the main reasons why voice assistants feel so… artificial.

That and long ass responses.
