Enthusiasm" Draws User Complaints — BigGo Finance

Add to Google Preferred Sources On July 9, 2026, OpenAI launched GPT-Live, a new generation full-duplex voice model designed to achieve more natural human-like conversations through simultaneous listening and speaking with short feedback mechanisms, while offloading complex tasks to the backend GPT-5.5 model. Although official evaluations show it dramatically outperforms the previous version in fluency and reasoning tasks, early users are complaining about the model being "over-enthusiastic," with excessive filler words like "mhmm" becoming a distraction. Additionally, the model lacks video and screen sharing support at launch, raising industry attention about its feature completeness when competing with Google's Gemini Live.

However, after the first wave of user experiences, social media has been flooded with complaints labeling the model "annoying," with many finding that the model's excessive short feedback—such as "mhmm" and "got it"—has become a new form of interruption.
