I don’t think AI is blanketly bad, not even AI voice acting, but this is theft. AI voices are trained on real voices. This is the equivalent of them taking some other VAs work and splicing what they say together to say the things they want and not paying them. Just because the AI is really good at splicing the words doesn’t change that.

All they did was obscured whose voice they stole from themselves so that they can pretend it isn’t theft. For this to be legal, they should need that person’s permission and to pay them.
