I think the last thing people want is a voice assistant that babbles on and on forever when asked a simple question.

I really hope that when they release something, the responses will be 5% of the endless stream of words ChatGPT & others produce.

Agree - fwiw, I added "ChatGPT should keep answers brief and direct." as part of my Custom instructions and it's a massive improvement.

I usually say things like “please be extremely succinct. Response should be one sentence at most”.

“Sure! I will try to be succinct.

I will remind you that most every parent and child both want this, albeit for totally different reasons.
