As an aside, this is the first video where I can't tell if it's a human speaking or an AI generated voice. The phenomenon of AI voices _and_ American voices choosing to be in a "presentation mode" / "telephone voice" is disconcerting, it weirdly means I trust US voices less. I recall hearing that Irish voices are the most trusted in Western countries, and now I wonder whether that's something to do with the high degree of authenticity in the voice. Edit: I tried to find a source for the Irish voice thing, but it turns out that every country lists a different accent as most trusted, in India it was British, in the UK it's Northern Irish, YMMV so it is probably irrelevant which voice is most trusted. The gist that the US voice being so present in voice assistants, devices, AI voice bots, etc still directionally may indicate a lessening in trust in those accents where it's not obviously tied to a speaker on screen being obviously human. Edit 2: Now I think future demand for video conferencing for support will increase, as people will not trust voice calls at all.
