Now that I think about it, how many GPS or personal assistant or similar programs are there out there with a sassy black woman type of VO setting? It’s one of those things that’s in the perfect intersection of “obviously no one wants this” and “prog ideology insists people should want this,” so I wonder if anyone has spent the money to add it as a feature.
Not sure I'm aware of any in real life, but the left loves this trope in fictional settings because they think sassy black women are funny. Off the top of my head I can think of the AI assistant from Outer Worlds and Solar Opposites.
None of them. Most of them are over-enunciated announcer voice, or "slight British accent" because Americans think British accents make people sound smart.

"Oi m8, turn left 'ere, guv."
"slight" not "authentic".
