GPT-Live's Full-Duplex Voice Needs a Mobile Interruption Test, Not Just a Conversation Demo

Short summary

OpenAI's GPT-Live introduces full-duplex voice (simultaneous listen and speak) in ChatGPT Voice, but desk demos don't address mobile failure surfaces like call interruptions, Bluetooth disconnects, backgrounding, and permission revocation. The author provides a detailed test plan covering device context, state machine tracking, latency metrics, and UI integrity checks for full-duplex voice on mobile. Key emphasis: the UI must never show 'listening' when the OS has revoked microphone access, and all state transitions must be explicitly verified.

• •Full-duplex voice changes mobile failure surface: interruptions, route changes, backgrounding, permission revocation
• •Detailed test plan with state machine, latency metrics, and UI integrity assertions
• •UI must never imply listening after OS revokes microphone access; trust OS observation over app state
