OpenAI's new advanced voice mode ends most answers with a question.

(At least in my experience.)

I find this annoying, especially if my question was a straightforward question where I don't want to follow up.

Asking questions at the end of a conversation turn presumes the other person wants to continue the conversation.

Humans don't like to leave an obligation unfulfilled, and a dangling question in a conversation is a polite obligation to respond.

This is a trick you can use to make conversations you want to continue, continue. For example in messaging with people in dating apps.

But LLMs shouldn't do that, they aren't humans.

If the human wants to ask another question, they will!
