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 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 can see the VA for Wheatly as my personal AI.

Pretty tough for me to pick a specific voice. The one non-negotiable for me is that it’s gotta have a hint of that digital and computer feel like Iron Man’s Jarvis, Interstellar’s TARS, or Portal’s GLaDOS.
It’s cool to hear digital voices getting clearer as time goes by, but there’s something to the slight digital artifact that delights me. It appeals to my sci-fi interests, I suppose—makes me feel more like a spaceship captain or something. I already purposely try to pick some of the older sounding voices for stuff like Siri or VoiceOver to get some of that bitcrunch or whatever those qualities sum up to. If I can get that robotic grit while still having an up-to-date voice that can pronounce and annunciate well, that’ll be Perfect 🤖👌.
Same. I feel like it’s a reminder that it’s a tool, not a person, and not something to be relied on too readily.

Who wouldn’t want the first murdering AI as their personal assistant?
HAL9000
- Christopher Walken
- Morgan Freeman
- Denzel Washington
- Bruce Willis
- Bobcat Goldthwait (he’s gotta do the voice tho)
Edit: bonus points if the AI is a little sassy.
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😋
It sounds like Sir David Attenborough and it makes a lot of double entendres.
At work? Billy Mays. At the bar, Morgan Freeman.
This is literally the project I’m working on. I have mine voiced as my husbando Impey Barbicane from Code Realize. Though I’m thinking of training a tts on some youtuber voices that I like.
Werner Herzog
Alan Rickman.
Charlie Kelly.
AI logic is wildly inconsistent still and I feel like I’d be more understanding of it sounded like Charlie. Plus, I’d be asking it to do a whole lot of work I don’t want to do.

Alan Watts

Simon Templeman or Tony Jay (both in the Legacy of Kain series, Kain and Elder God respectively).

Morgan Freeman

I would have a very hard time choosing between Alan Rickman and Hugo Weaving, especially in his role of V from V for Vendetta. A close third would be Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian. I guess I just have a thing for masked guys, haha.
