OK, a Fuchsia question rather than Android, but it's all Google ecosystem.

A couple of days ago, the voice that it uses changed from a very
synthetic sounding female voice to a quite natural (though rather flat)
sounding male voice, the firmware date is 2024-08-05 so not /that/ recent.
 
Anyone else notice a similar change?  Is it Gemini/AI?

I can't say whether there was a change, because today I used
Assistant for the first time. But I did hear that flat male voice in
response to a request for tomorrow's weather.
