    Just that TikTok text-to-speech voice… I don’t know what it is about it, but I legit get angry when I hear it.

      I swear they developed that voice in a lab with the goal of being as irritating as possible.

      I honestly don’t mind the robot lady, but I fucking loathe the old lady voice filter thing. Kinda sounds like if spongebob were a grandma from brooklyn.

      I don’t know what it is about it

      It goes low to high in pitch as it speaks which, while normal for some accents/languages, conveys uncertainty and/or a feeling of ‘high-strung’-ness, at least to a large portion of english speakers, and especially Americans.

      It also put the emphasis in the wrong places.

      isn’t it astounding how stephen hawking specifically kept his robot voice because he and others liked it, and now years later we’ve somehow managed to make computer voices sound WORSE
