Sky doesn't sound like the movie, much less "uncanny".

I think it sounds overly enthusiastic though, to the point that it sounds fake. Very overacted and dramatic. I wouldn't want to chat with that voice.

Though admittedly, so does Johansson in "Her". I don't think the voices are very similar but the style is.

  • Just imagine, if these voice chatbots get popular... they will likely change how people talk!

    • I think at the moment it's the opposite: It seems based on how many celebrities talk. When we watch them on TV, youtube, tiktok whatever they're not real people but just playing a role. It's not how they really are in their real life. The overacted enthusiasm is like a marketing tool.

      As people tend to look up at celebrities and admire them they start associating this with good things and I think this is why they adopted such styles for chatbots.
