Does anyone else absolutely hate the Rivian Assistant voice?

I'm nonchalant about it. Wait til you hear the alternate voice you can choose for the Halloween treat .

It's not just you, the Rivian AI voice sounds too stereotypically "millennial" to me, with her vocal fry and up-talk. I am expecting her to start every reply with "Yeah, so..."

Now that I've gotten that off my chest I have to go shout at those damn kids to get off my lawn.

Us Millennials are 40 years old now… WE are the ones getting kids off our lawns.

Jones & Freeman were my first 2 thoughts.

Next person that popped into my head was Patrick Warburton, seemed like he'd be hilarious. Do it as Kronk, Brock Samson, or the wolf from Hoodwinked. Basically any of his voice work, it's all great.

That's hillarious! Warburton was also on my list as my young daughter suggested "the guy from The Emporer's New Groove" when I asked her who she thought would be a good voice.

I'm offended because that's exactly what my wife sounds like (j/k).
Anyone bothered by an AI voice has a blessed life. I'm too busy worrying about all the other things in the world.

Not too concerned about the tone, but sometimes RA talks too much. I saw a setting where you can limit the chattiness, and also you can interrupt RA and not wait for responses to complete. Just talk naturally.

His sons do a great impression of him too:

The new Rivian assistant voice sounds too much like a teenager on her period.. just can’t stop noticing the notes of hysteria

Short answer: yes. I absolutely can't stand that voice. My iPhone has options, and my personal preference would be a male voice that sounds like he's reading the news in Fort Worth, TX, but that's just me. My Rivian's name is Rufus and when that Temecula, CA voice comes out of the speakers it just causes my teeth to hurt. The navigation voice is worse.

Vote here for Homer Simipson. "Doh! You missed the turn for the....000h, donuts!"
