Waze porn voice

I'm in the US currently so this might not affect many of you (and, yes, "porn voice" is hyperbolic) but...

AIBU to think Waze should not be "Celebrating Women's History Month" by changing the voice on my Waze app to a perk and breathy female voice?

I find it really disturbing. I had a normal woman's voice calling out the directions and then one morning it changes to one that's all happy inflection and breathy excitement.

If they'd got Mary Beard to do it I could see the connection, but what is the point of this? It's almost like they're saying -- Women;s history is one of being helpful, happy and available assistants to the world. Yeah!

I'm definitely feeling unreasonably strongly about this, but AIBU to be a little bit Hmm about it?

Perhaps you've activated the "own voice" feature ;)

My Waze app informs me that it's the voice navigation voice from Infiniti. You could choose Christina Aguilera, or Paw Patrol, or Boy George, or a dog or cat.
