I like the podcast features still for getting an overview or orientation on a new topic where I know I need a big context dump before I can begin to do anything under my own speed.
I have tried the "walk and talk" pattern with AI, and it's okay, but I find that it can be kind of janky if the network connection isn't very good. And I find it very frustrating to use still in terms of how the interrupt feature works. For example, if I'm out hiking and there's even a little bit of wind, the voice mode of ChatGPT and Gemini both will think that I'm done talking and begin responding.
In fairness to the AI vendors, I imagine that this is a very difficult thing to get right. Humans have a very natural sense of flow in conversation, and knowing when a speaker is done talking and it's appropriate to begin responding.
