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

I have several Chromecast and Nest devices, including a 1st Gen Nest Hub 
with screen as my "alarm clock"

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?
