When will AI replace voice actors, at least in the west?

AI has already gotten to the point where it does a far better job than real human VAs.
English VAs are perfect to be replaced because they are whinny (especially with the Bayonetta VA fiasco) and they are literal nobodies that voice in games as a side-gig (again, Bayonetta VA) so no one would even notice the change.
Just look at this:

The difference is crazy. Why even have human VAs anyways?

    I guess that's the reason for the strikes. But you know, you can't stand against the progress of technology, plenty of businesses come and gone, where's the market for steam engines, etc.

      Yeah that's how things are. Though I think it's in this case a bit complicated. If voice acting by real humans as a business dies, then eventually what voices will AI copy, if no new actors enter the field? It would be extremely boring if the voice acting samples were from actors up until this era only.

        You'll get hired for a weeks work, talk into a microphone, then they can accurately reproduce your voice for 100 years.

        I think big Holywood movies will continue to use "big" actors. But that's the case now. There aren't really huge movie stars now anyway. They tried with Emilia Clarke. But who's the Tom cruise today that's in his 20s or 30s?

        >what voices will AI copy
        The voice of actual actors who actually act. Voice actors aren't the only actors with a voice you know

    It won't start with big studios, but smaller indie games and mods will find it far easier and cheaper to just generate voices

    The ai voice is worse. It sounds like they're trying too hard to sound like a generic trope. Makes the entire scene feel like pretend. The original actually sounds like an actual person is talking. AI just isn't there yet

        of course she is. But are you dumb enough to think all instances are equally generic and well executed?

    Yea damn they'll get replaced. Even if they go on strike they can still get replaced, the voice acting acually sounds good with the ai tool.

      Given how shit the original it’s not exactly a ginormous accomplishment that the artificial voice is better, nonetheless cool and should make every VA piss and shid their pants.

      That’ll be the true test for AI, is if it can do impressions of funny accents.

      That's the problem with western VAs. They're literally picked up randomly from the streets. They don't have experience, and they don't care.
      They're just in it to make a few quick bucks by reading lines from a script. Just a side hustle for them.

        Not true. A lot of them have experience in theater or radio.

      haha no the us voice acting industry is 100% connections and 0% effort or skill

      the best thing from sofware ever did was use a bbc radio acting troupe for their vas in demon's souls and reminded people that voice acting doesn't have to be something you just tolerate

        This. This is why youtubers get voice acting roles left and right. "Talent" is literally not a factor.

    The only reason it's better is because whoever did the original sucked that bad
    she sounds like she was reading the script, no acting at all.

    Depends on how autistic things get.
    No one likes American VAs so chances are they'll be the first to be replaced, but people get kind of autistic about seiyuu worship and associated idolshit, especially Asians.
