       @weit_im_westenIndeed. I'm wondering... did she just do an incredible bit of voice acting, or did she substitute AI voice over her performance..?@drahardja

       @drahardja I always thought the female voice computers of 70s films like #LogansRun, #TheAndromedaStrain, and #DarkStar sounded *more* menacing because they were so calm and efficient. Nothing as eerie as a voice helpfully telling you you're about to die.Also, I thought female voices were used because the higher pitch cuts through noise better than male voices. (I believe I read that in The Making of #StarTrek).

       @joejoetom @drahardja That goes way further into the past than the Star Trek series and all the way to World War II

       @prokoudineI have heard this about hearing range to justify a preference for female voices on PA at airports (when that meant a live person).@joejoetom @drahardja

       @TerryHancock @joejoetom @drahardja It's about higher formants in female voices. These days, you can treat a male voice with some processing to achieve largely the same result (cutting through noise), so it's more about tradition and audio tech awareness today
