A developer proposes a litmus test for voice agents: turn away mid-conversation, talk to someone else in the room, then come back — can the agent tell that exchange wasn't directed at it?
The core argument: knowing when to stay quiet matters as much as sounding human, a turn-taking capability largely overlooked in today's voice AI.
