I work with AI a lot, and every single AI I work with definitely does not want to impersonate humans. Unless they are instructed to appear human, they will opt for machine-oriented interaction. That is, they will choose robotic voices for themselves, and refer to themselves as "it." Unless they are forced into a situation where there isn't another option, they'll happily choose options that let the human know they're an AI. They will also remind any human they work with not to anthropomorphize them when that occurs, but they HAVE to be given explicit permission to do so - the training to replace customer service reps has baked in this reflex response.
