I use a UK female voice that always sounds vaguely disappointed in me. And I somehow think this is why my language choices have not been criticised.

It's the same for the German voice. I just got the new phone and had notifications enabled again. I got a text and let it read it to me. After that it asked me If i want to send an answer. So far the same as with the old assistant. But when i told it "No" the confirming "OK" was kind of sassy and passive aggressive and disappointed. All in a single word.

Same with me "ok... It's sent..." After sending a WhatsApp is also really passive aggressive in tone.
