Well. It’s happening, you shouldn't be surprised by this.

According to a report from Motherboard, voice actors are increasingly being asked to sign rights to their voices away so clients can use AI to generate synthetic versions that could eventually replace them, and sometimes without additional compensation.

A voice actor named SungWon Cho says that “it's disrespectful to the craft to suggest that generating a performance is equivalent to a real human being's performance. Sure, you can get it to sound tonally like a voice, and maybe even make it sound like it's capturing an emotion, but at the end of the day, it is still going to ring hollow and false. Going down this road runs the risk of people thinking that voice-over can be replaced entirely by AI, which really makes my stomach turn."

Is it the beginning of the end for voice actors? Or will AI never be able to replace the magic of a genuine human performance? Terminator?
