Having had one for almost our cats' entire lives, I can confirm that they do not.
It also creates something of a pavlovian response; it doesn't matter if there's still food in the dispenser's bowl or he's literally just eaten, the sound of more biscuits dropping is enough to make him absolutely hoof it in the direction of the feeder. Sometimes doesn't even eat anything, just has to run over to it.
Like humans and our phones.
