Proving it happening is going to be difficult..more difficult than telling Vanilla Ice from Queen/Bowie.
There is currently no way to copyright a voice. There is also no good definition of what a voice even is legally.
It has always been happening to some degree. Casters would cast someone who sound like that other person etc. Happens to music all the time. Tv shows have cover music that is soo close to the song it's supposed to remind the viewer of but just isn't technically. Voices are going to much more difficult, especially with AI spitting out audio of what it would have sounded like if a certain person had said it, but didn't. It'll be impossible.
This will be the death of voice acting.
Well to the last, yes definitely.. it'll become worthless as a skill. Once you can make an AI that speaks any line perfectly you don't need anyone special to do it.. joe shmoe off the street would be just as good a 'voice actor' as the current professionals. There's obviously skill in making the AI do that seamlessly but that's a different job.
Translation went through something similar. It used to be something you paid someone a lot of money for now you just type the sentence into your phone.
