Let's say we're at a place where personal AI is a thing. You can have it speak with any voice from any person in history or any media without any copyright issues or the like. Who would you want to voice yours?

I'm going to go with a classic, Majel Barratt. When I think of AI, how we use it now and how we could use it in the future, the Computer voice in Star Trek TNG - Voyager seems like a perfect fit.

Jeremy Irons, Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, Christopher Judge, to start with.

Had a longer list by mood, but Jerboa crashed. Not writing that shit again.

Peter Capaldi, and he needs to swear.

Agent Smith, and he has to be disgusted by everything all the time.

Keith David. I have a strong personal belief that one day that man's voice will be integral to the discovery and/or implementation of the cure for cancer. I also think he would be a benevolent AI overlord.

Gilbert Gottfried.

Cortana.
Speaking of AI, I've actually been playing Deep Rock Galactic with an AI generated Cortana voice mod lately and while not perfect, it is pretty neat.

Tom Servo. I already installed AI in my Tom (automotom) Servo, now I just have to train the voice.

[–] cowsarecool@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Bernard Hill or Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington

Werner Herzog

Alice Fraser's voice after hearing or making a pun. The happiness/joy is audible and infectious.

I think Jeff Goldblum would be a good fit for me. Mostly because I don’t think I’d want a completely reliable or useful AI companion, just one that adds pleasantness and weirdness to my day to day.

I think I'd have to go with RC Bray. I could listen to him tell me just about anything.

Tricia Helfer, b/c I need EDI with me every day

[–] CopernicusQwark@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

For me it's a toss up between Tali, Garrus, EDI and Legion's voices. Give me any of those and I'd be a happy man.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly like anything I would likely change it over time depending on my options.

[–] Plume@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I want the Mr.Handy voice from the Fallout games! :D

[–] NotSoNaturalRed@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Joe Kenda. I feel like I could use and AI assistant who won't bullshit me.

I'll go with Norm Macdonald off the top of my head. Not necessarily my final choice but that'll do for now.

[–] DoctorForesight@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Scarlett Johansson or Anya Taylor-Joy

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Jon Lovitz, playing Jay Sherman. Our personalities match up disconcertingly well.

[–] CharlesReed@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Anthony Howell. I'm not sure how well he's known, but that man has a voice that I want to read me to sleep.

[–] BertieWooster@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I say leave it to Jeeves
