I think it is closer, although still even it has a cold start problem. Once you are connected and in-session, it is a better experience.
There is still some "turn based" conversational aspect to it that can be awkward but it is much better. It also helps that you can "tap and hold" to override, which is a bit of a hack but works well in practice for that mobile use-case.
Sorry what I meant was: have you tried _recently_? I feel that what you describe is the old implementation. The current version, with a colorful bubble, has very low latency and starts almost instantly. The older version has a UI composed of a white dot on a black background, and is pretty slow. But the more recent one is pure magic IMHO.
Yes, I mentioned this in the comment.
