This would be better if the human character was voiced by an actual human and the robot were kept as it is. The bad synthesized speech on the human character kicks this into the unintentional uncanny valley, while the robot both has a better voice and can actually be expected to sound like that.
For reference: this video was evidently made on Xtranormal. Xtranormal is a site which takes a simple text file containing dialogue, etc. and outputs a movie; the voices are synthesized because that's how the site works. Voice actors would be nice, of course, but that's a rather more involved process.
Why would you expect an AGI to sound like that? We already have voice synthesizers that mimic human speech considerably more realistically then that, and I can only expect them to get better. and I don't think a friendly AI would deliberately annoy the people it is talking too.
They are cartoon characters talking with cartoon voices. Both visuals and sounds are expected to have heavy symbolic exaggerations.
