Nothing to do with that woman's voice, or any other voice that could have wound up as the voice, but things that talk to me in the course of activity make me uncomfortable. It's just *wrong*. For education or entertainment, fine, but... I dunno, it's just wrong.

Read "The Murderer," by Ray Bradbury. That sums it up. And from 1953, no less.

I think there is an audio uncanny valley effect. The more natural and organic a computerized robovoice sounds, the more it creeps me out.

Just remember.... There was a time when people felt the same way about many other technologies we take for granted today....

Including recording.... And the telephone.... And electricity in the walls.... And fire.

Shocked

Just sayin'. Get Lost
