Yes, it is disturbing in the same way that the rise of the drum machine in the early 80s was. Instead of making good use of synthetic drums and sequencers to augment human drummers, a bunch of tedious people insisted that there was no need for real drummers any more and so we got the record labels signing up all these crap acts who played along to a drum machine... then became famous, and still didn't hire a real drummer! It took a long time for the human drummer to gain respectability again.theboxinargentina wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 1:34 pm Well this is godawful
Voice actors are increasingly being asked to sign rights to their voices away so clients can use artificial intelligence to generate synthetic versions that could eventually replace them
Those contractual obligations are just one of the many concerns actors have about the rise of voice-generating artificial intelligence, which they say threaten to push entire segments of the industry out of work.

Now I suspect that people who should know better will go all oh gosh wow over this new technology and abuse it to the hilt. Then after a decade of having all voicovers done by a machine, people will start to long for the human touch again and the wheel will come full circle.
But why does it always have to be this way? An inferior new technology comes alongs and is abused by people who don't have a clue, and we all suffer for it.
