No, that would be either cortana or Majel Barrett Roddenberry.

Not HAL?
I think the problem with HAL is that some people would recognize the attitude, not the voice ;D

(i.e. I'm not sure if I would jump to "that's HAL!" if it weren't in disobeyance and vaguely threatening…)

I’m sure “Majel” is in the pipeline.

Would the everywoman on the street be able to recognise Majel over Scarlett? I don’t believe so.

I don't think most people recognized Scarlett either, and if so, they recognized her not from "Her" but generally as an actor
