As it turns out, developer Embark Studios is using AI for essentially all the voicework in The Finals.

The biggest issue to me seems to be the model struggling to put emphasis in the right places, but if that's something you can manually tune..

Aside from that, it sounds fine. I would hate to be a VA right now. Maybe it won't kill the field, but it will reduce a lot of job opportunities.

I think it'll change VA's so that their likeness or specific voices they do can be licensed out or paid royalties to.

Wanna make a Machinima with the voice of a videogame character? Sure, build it in Eleven labs based on voice lines you got from the game, but the moment you make money on it a percentage goes to "X" actor or maybe they'd just prefer a one time fee per person to use the voice, idk.
