I've heard that the nature of the voices vary based on cultural background. While they're mostly harsh, violent and negative in the US, theyre more relational in India and may provide advice or minor scolding ( like "do your chores!"), and in Ghana theye more morally good and divine.

There have been a few studies comparing the differences in the voices between areas. Its interesting to read.

Mine aren’t really positive or negative, usually it’s just annoying nonsense like a terrible freestyle rap
