With these kind of things, we don’t really know.

I find synthetic voices, vocaloid and virtual actors (like “virtual” youtubers) to be interesting in that they when replacing something usually performed by a human, they often do it in way lower quality due to technical limitations.

So it theory here should be a lower appeal to it, but on the other hand there’s a ton of side effects and “disruptive” uses that make the technology useful for a population different from what was intended.

From the top of my head this “neutral” voice could be nice for phone guidance or voice translation, where the awkwardness of the voice could be an advantage. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a bumber of people came forward to declare this the thing they’ve been waiting for years.
