There’s a lot of human decision-making going on when it comes to their voices. After the “feeding it the entire internet” step there’s fine-tuning (feeding it a smaller, specially chosen corpus to direct its output) and RLHF (humans reading its output and scoring it to direct its output)

You can see this very clearly whenever someone attempts to enter the console market and has a godawful controller, eg google stadia. Tens of millions of dollars and years of effort went into Xbox/Playstation controllers
