"AI" can never replace top-tier voice acting from humans simply because that would require a general intelligence. This exact same quote has been used as a desperate means of gatekeeping for what it means to be intelligent across every domain. Deep blue with chess, AlphaGo, diffusion generative art, the list goes on and on. It's amazing that people continue to make this mistake to me. Everyone thinks that their domain is safe, and everyone is inevitably wrong. There have already been many high profile realistic sounding TTS engines in the last 10 years. Some of the newest advancements allow you to combine a TTS voice with a recording of your own voice. So a game developer can record a line of dialogue angrily and with emotion, and then this is transferred onto the appropriate TTS generated voice (elf princess, dwarven blacksmith, etc). Voice acting is a field absolutely ripe for disruption. https://mashable.com/article/james-earl-jones-gives-rights-to-darth-vader-ai https://mashable.com/article/james-earl-jones-gives-rights-t...
