The voice annoyed me too. But then I had a thought that you will be able to customize it to whichever sex, whatever age, accent, and even personality you want in the future. Imagine the impact on the call center industry. Pretty soon we will be all be interacting with voice or chat bots that match our preferences. Not sure if utopia or dystopia but either way the future looks to be an inexorable slide into an atomized, entirely curated existence for each individual plugged into the matrix, and even for those who try to opt out, any interaction with government or corporations is likely to be mediated by some AI trying to tailor the interaction to best engage you.
The bots at call center are limited by programmers. I don't think these bots will be given as much access as human agents.
