What is the future for the voice actors then? Once the AI is trained they don't need to hire the kid for further recording sessions so they can cut them loose, use the AI and pay whatever royalties.
At some point they wont even need people and you can just ask for "British Cockney spoken by an 8 year old female with a slight Chinese accent" then fine tune the results and paste in the dialogue.

The voice acting industry has inertia, and many union contracts have minimum hiring quotas. In practice, if you consider the output good enough, existing models can generate arbitrary voices that don't correspond to any person. No one has to sign or license anything.

- riddley 4mo agoI'm a knowledge worker who, like many, have had a stressful time with the rise of LLMs. The other day I realized that we've had drum machines since the late 70s but we still have drummers. I'm sure there are flaws in this analogy but it helped me to calm down.
