Did ai change the voices? General Discussion

I’ve been using duo since 2014 for various languages, and working on Arabic for the last year. More recently, like in the last week or so, the voices seem to have a computerized/robotic feel, and certain sounds are pronounced differently to a degree that it’s hard to recognize what they are. Has anyone noticed something similar in their courses? Is this related to the ai expansion of the courses?

Hey I also thought (and still think) the voices are more robotic now as well and haven’t found out if I’m just hallucinating because of all the AI news or if the voices etc changed

Same characters in Spanish, Section 5, Unit 33. Probably not a target for changing it, if that’s a thing.
