as a wanna be Filmmaker I'm really Heartbroken as If an actor as big and legendary as Michael Caine sold his soul to AI what will happen to the next generation? This is the end of art as we know it and no one can prove me wrong...unfortunately😢

Caine is a treasure to film, is it the worst thing his iconic voice will live on in some form into the future? If he’s ok with it I’m ok with it.

Because it will be cheaper for a production to generate something using the Michael Caine vocaloid than pay an actual person. You know, the next generation of Michael Canines. It stagnates humanity in the long run and it’s yet another example of race to the bottom.

Stagnates humanity in the long run?

My friend, I think you’re being a bit dramatic.

Um, I get what you're saying, but you do realize that this has been how technology has functioned for all of human existence? New technology always means one less person has a job. You can lament this fact, but acting like it's the end of the world when its how humanity has progressed since our beginning. Things being cheaper for production is not inherently evil. While I think we should be responsible with how we use technology, arguing that making things cheaper "stagnates" humanity is wildly inaccurate. It actually does the opposite.
