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.

I can see the VA for Wheatly as my personal AI.

That voice was an inspired choice in Pacific Rim too

It’s likely that most people think of themselves as a should-use-Morgan-Freeman-voice kind of person, when in reality they are a deserves-only-Bobcat-Goldthwait-voice kind of person.

A sassy Morgan Freeman voice is the perfect option for me as well😋

Shohreh would be pretty awesome, though I’d prefer to sprinkle some Quarian voice modulation in there as well.

Shohreh Aghdashlo is definitely my first pick.

Mine as well, and I thought I was being so original before I started reading the answers!

I also would want my own voice. It would have to be how my voice sounds in my own head though, not how it sounds in recordings

I’d probably have it switch itself daily as well as the personality if possible.

I don’t need to be attached to a computer person, I’m already addicted to social media enough. Besides, it sounds fun to meet a new “person” everyday.
