Events injecting function instead of called function value for gr.State

[brycepg]

Describe the bug

I've noticed that the render function is injecting the value of gr.State before the state value is called AND after the state value is called. It should only inject the called value not the callable itself if I understand correctly

Reproduction

import gradio as gr

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    input_text = gr.Textbox(label="input")
    input_state = gr.State(
        lambda: bool()
    )

    @gr.render(inputs=[input_text, input_state])
    def show_split(text, state):
        print(state)
        if len(text) == 0:
            gr.Markdown("## No Input Provided")
        else:
            for letter in text:
                gr.Textbox(letter)

demo.launch()

Logs

Here is the output of the above code from the print statement inside the decorated render function:

<function <lambda> at 0x000001F66D8CCE00>
False

Severity

I can't work around it

I've also had this happen for regular .change events on Chatbot. This can potentially break a lot of things.
