    Struggle session: most people who dunk on ip have ridiculous hate boners for ai voices. My brother in Christ, the guy who voices SpongeBob doesn’t own the character, let it sing mariachi songs.

      Counterpoint: If AI voices start voicing actual paid / monetized media, voice actors will all be out of work and a highly creative profession dies overnight

        Yeah, voice actors are treated horribly. Not stealing their voices is as much a solidarity thing as anything. Also stealing someone’s voice is really icky. A nice gay Dane wrote a whole “Don’t build the Torment Nexus” about it.

      Its one thing to create a meme using ai that is largely harmless. Its another to automate away everyones fucking job with ai. Voice actors have it hard enough, ai is the final nail in the coffin for that profession.
