All the voices from cars, at-home devices and phones all sound strange. I am pretty sure it's because of the phenomenon where when something sounds or looks like a human but is slightly off, we feel extremely uncomfortable about it. I think it's called the uncanny valley or something. I was listening to the voice that came from my car and I was like huh. That sounds extremely unpleasant to my ears. Now continuing that thought, I wonder why Vocaloid is so popular when it's a software generated voice. Is it because it sounds inhuman enough to be comfortable or something? I have no idea. That and nightcore confuse me to no end.
Overall Thought:
WE ALL HAD THAT PHASE AND NOW IM WONDERING ABOUT IT. ALEXA ALSO SOUNDS WEIRD.
