Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg once announced that he wanted an AI-powered assistant like Iron Man’s Jarvis. Imagine the surprise of netizens when he posed a question on Facebook asking who should voice-over said AI assistant.
Over 35,000 responses have been sent in and among them were names such as Paul Bettany (the actor who voiced-over Jarvis in the movies), Benedict Cumberbatch, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and even Arnold Schwarzenegger who also offered his services back in January’s initial announcement of Zuckerberg’s AI assistant dream, reports The Next Web.
The most interesting suggestion so far was one from Robert Downey Jr. where he offered his own voice provided that “Bettany gets paid and donates it to a cause of Cumberbatch’s choosing.”
Between Cortana and Siri, the former’s voice has a lot more personality considering she was voiced-over by the same actress from the game series. So with just a couple months left for 2016, Zuckerberg better make a choice soon. Preferably someone who can give the quirky Cortana a run for her money. Alfred Bayle
