iPhone dictation adding random commas after update

When using the iPhone's dictation in a text message, it inserts random comma punctuations into my sentences even if I did not state for a comma to be inserted. The commas being inserted are not grammatically correct, so this does not appear to be as a result of an auto correct function. This began after I upgraded to IO 16. Does anyone know why this is happening?

When I use dictation, I spend several minutes undoing all the random commas because I don’t want to look like a fool. I’ve heard that the new version is oversensitive to pauses. I would much rather ask for a comma than be given seven I didn’t ask for please. Apple please sort this out.
