Personal AI becomes a thing. Who voices yours? (beehaw.org)

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.

Majel Barratt is a great shout - I'd probably go for Data or Picard though :). Or maybe Holly from Red Dwarf?

[–] Oddbin@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oo good choice. Which Holly though, Norman or Hatty?

[–] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A great question. Probably Norman just so he can randomly say "What's happening, dudes?", but Hattie had some pretty good lines too, she could bang her head on the screen to count things.

The rehabilitation nurse from Frasier played Holly too, in the short-lived US adaptation of Red Dwarf. Seemed like a good fit for her.

Or it will depend on situation - in the morning Queeg wold wake you up, and Holly will read you random facts before going to bed.
