I would prefer if my software did not attempt to "speak to me" at all. :P Display your information, robot! Don't try to act like a person.

But I've been grinding this axe since Windows Updates started taking that familiar tone.

I agree in principle, but the software speaking to you is kinda the whole point of an LLM.

Yeah, I mainly take offence when it's a familiar tone. LLMs can talk clinically to me.
