The UK is an accent soup. Not only can you tell from which city someone originates but also, from which side of that city. London I believe has at least 10 distinct accent groups? I will also add another London accent group which is a type of social media accent. This whiney accent afflicts 20 somethings who grew up watching the Carcrashians on UTube. It's common English mixed with west coast L.A. Makes the speaker sound double dim :-\
On the subject of AI, PCs/Macs have system voices in many accents too. Test your localisation by asking the accented voice to speak various phrases. I found the Scottish accent on a Mac is highly adept at swearing - for some reason?! :rant:Haggis!
Meanwhile, Apple's female system voice in an Aussie accent is called Karen. I have no idea why that is? See [Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > System Voice ] if you're interested in hearing "winner winner chicken dinner" uttered by a generic Cath and Kim.
Comparing computer accents might make an interesting segment on the AmpHour/etc :wtf:
++ I'll add here the worse British English accent has to be the northern Irish or Ulster accent. Curiously, the southern Irish accent is one of the nicest. Weirdest is the impenitrable Newfoundland accent which is some mysterious blend of Gaelic, French and f-knows. As for the Kiwis, sorry to hear it's still legal to have six on a Sunday.

I'd give the BOT version a '7' and with my comment that I noticed, in the BOT's third sentence being read, that there was a noticable 'swell' or volume increase at the start of sentence. That sounded very natural 'human' to modulate speech like that.
All you 'Dave's out there are way too precise, knowing and comparing to the BOT version, but most people don't listen so critically. To myself, that sounded human, and I wasn't looking for clues, that it should be 'Dave', only listened for generalities, and the BOT passed, largely on that one, change of volume spoken.
