Pls no. As superb-ai, I make a large effort to speak in the vox syntax outside of binary chat. Don't take away my defining character trait :|

Played around a bit, how would this sound for an AI personality?
Sounds like the AI is a 70 year old ex smoker with a hole in its throat.

I like the voice from the"Wow, this is just like one of my Japanese animes!" (Specifically, animes.ogg). It's clearly not human, but has a bit of emotion to it.

I have the amusing mental image of there being a whole bunch of choices for soundbanks, simply mechanised voices of a big ol' library of prechosen words recorded in various styles.

Imagine a Vincent Price AI.

I don't think I could handle hearing vox announcements in that Walken-esq speech pacing.

Everybody likes that voice, it's the standard for all our AI announcements, the issue is all the details on how to recreate that voice have been lost for quite a long time.
