They should allow personal voice as a Siri voice

Just a thought I had. We should be able to use a personal voice in iOS 17 as the Siri voice.

Given how dumb Siri is in general, I think that it would really lower my self esteem to hear Siri with my own voice

Nothing stopping them from that technically, but I feel like personal voice is not there yet when it comes to quality. The latest Siri voices have been very natural sounding and personal voice is quite robotic still. Might be a bit weird hearing yourself as Siri though so they probably wouldn't do it

But what about the voice of a beloved one? I have created a personal voice of my father, so that to hear his voice whenever (in case this happens) I ask siri about anything. I live abroad, so hearing my father's voice daily, I think would feel like he is here with me.
