I don’t see the big deal. When watching, let’s say, a Ken Burns documentary about The National Parks, they’ll have a guy who sounds as much like John Muir as possible, reading letters he wrote. They don’t add a single footnote or disclaimer anywhere in the film that it’s not John Muir speaking. You’re just supposed to know it’s someone impersonating what they think he sounded like. If it was AI instead of a voiceover actor, that would be the same thing to me, within the context of a documentary, where you’re trying to express that the guy that is communicating is the guy who’s voice you’re supposed to be listening to.
