I’ve also experienced this and it’s really annoying. There is this pressure to keep talking if I’m not done with my thought that feels pretty unnatural at least for me. If I’m searching for the right word, I want the opportunity to find it.

I think the solution is to handle pauses more intelligently rather than having a higher latency protocol. With low latency you can interrupt and the bot can immediately stop rambling.

Have you tried telling it to pause to let you think?

I often use it while I’m walking and tell it to not respond until I initiate a conversation.

100%. I have to hold the floor by filling the space with "ummmmmmmm.... uhhhh...." which inevitably distracts me from my point altogether. Poor user experience.
