> Grok's updated voice mode is indeed impressive. I wish there was a way to disable automatic turn detection, so that it wouldn't treat silence as an end of the response.
You can circumvent that by instructing the model to use "radio etiquette" - only respond after the other part says "over". It will still be compelled to answer when it detects silence, you can't prevent that, but you can instruct it to only reply with a short "mhm" until you say "over". Feels very natural.
Like most models I've used with this old hack, it will immediately start role-playing and also end its own responses with "over".
This is such a cool idea. I wonder whether it's possible to define a custom Personality in Grok's voice settings that would do this. Unfortunately I'm not able to create a new Personality in Grok's settings to test this right now on my phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max), because the Personality creation screen closes immediately after opening it. Might be a bug or some other issue.
this is such a great, obvious(?) idea, I've always hated feeling "rushed" whenever I talk to a voice agent and doesn't give me enough time to think.
