2025 update:
'can't pay artists to train our ai models, it'd put us out of business!'
I wish they would. AI VA could be so great if people were just paid properly.
Imagine- You have the English Voice track for Arnie in Terminator- but you need a Chinese version.
Old worlds- You either have a bad local VA that sucks but is at least 'acting' OR you have people reading the script over the English version, you get the inflections from English, but the verbiage from local... script readers.
Imagine if instead of using AI to cheap out, you got those local VA's to do a version of the voices (and paid them!) then ran it through an NN so that the input was the local VA and the output is a combination of that and Arnold's voice (and all parties are paid appropriately, this isn't suppose to be a cheap out process) such that you could hear 'arnie' in all langauges - That would be great.
But instead we just get cheating artists out of pay for a worse quality product.
They can't even make money stealing other people's work. Actually paying for it is out of the question. Right now they're still living in the free money portion of a bubble. The crash is going to hurt a lot.
It won't hurt them though, not when they get that bailout money from public funds so that only we have to suffer the consequences of their actions.
