I also don't get the need for all these imperfections. In some examples it sounds like "she" is half asleep or even tipsy. If I want to talk to an all powered machine that knows my codebase inside out, or that can discuss about technical topics like the universe, science, or a specific technical book, etc... I expect it to be an eloquent speaker, capable of a good cadence, and that's easy to understand. I don't need it to mimic all the imperfections, I want it to be like when I'm talking to a really smart person that keeps me engaged and makes me feel smart.
Especially when you keep in mind that not everyone knows english as their first language. I know he's a bit controversial sometimes but Neil deGrasse Tyson is easy to understand and explained interesting topics in his podcast (I could still understand most of it when I was still getting used to listening to english 15+ years ago).
If conversation is the new interface then we will need UX designers to take care of this.
