I fucking hate computer generated voices, the cadence is always fucking weird. This one is far too fast, and the pause between words is too short.
It's just weird.
Thinking out loud, I wonder if it's better to aim computer generated voices to be understandable and pronounce words correctly, but place them firmly on the lower side of the Uncanny Valley. In other words, let them be noticeably different, but otherwise comprehensible.
For ads and movies and such, obviously those companies want the most realistic voices they can. But for voice assistants, maybe it's better if we don't.
Make them sort of like cartoon voices.
"Goofy, navigate to 3325 Main Street"
"Ahyuck, navigating."
Misses an exit
"Gorsh, rerouting"
This would get me to use Google assistant
Since i work in media i can tell you with 99.9% certainty that's not an AI-generated voice. It's just cut a bit too tightly and the super low quality of the audio track doesn't help either.
