Interesting that the AI bot is a racist with no respect for regional or national variation in dialects.

I've had a listen on the Oxford and Cambridge dictionary website and a few others. And there's a little variation so I don't think there's a set in stone way. Based on my experience with UK dialects it's often the letter i thats the problem, depending on where you live it can be ee, uh, or eye

'mis-cha-ves or misCHeves are correct though I like the 3rd way on your list.
