Microsoft Sam Default Voice

Microsoft Sam said "You have selected Microsoft Sam as the computer's default voice."

A blue Windows-style screen displays a system message announcing that Microsoft Sam has been selected as the computer's default voice. A robotic speech synthesizer reads the notification, making the joke self-referential and absurd because the voice is announcing its own selection. It works as a nostalgic reaction to old computer text-to-speech voices and awkward system announcements.
