Oh yeah, these are all great points for sure. (2) could probably be solved with game design (like how Mass Effect hides loading screens behind elevator rides and such). Actors are quite good at improv, but regardless they can restrict their availability to a certain number of characters they've learned. (3) is definitely an issue, could probably only be solved by having actors write notes after each interaction for the next ones to read. We have to remember that there are a lot of very, very talented actors out there and they can deal with all sorts of curveballs like that - benefits of having smart humans in the loop! Voices could possibly be postprocessed to all sound similar for a particular NPC. For (4) given the price I think the target market is mostly adults, but yes of course this would be a concern. For (5) I agree this enterprise is to some extent a bearish take on the near-term possibilities of AI.
