I'm all for this. I'm excited for games to have truly generative NPCs that I can talk to and have conversations with - but I want the voice actors who were used to generate those models to be compensated for it.
I think most people would even pay extra for it. Take the skyrim mod where you get a follower, like the article lays out. I think most people would gladly have a follower with AI based voice be an extra DLC, where the base game is as normal but for say, $10 bucks more you get an AI companion. I think that'd be a fair tradeoff, and the voice actor gets compensated fairly for it.
If the voice actors get paid fairly for the use of their voice, and I mean fairly, then there really isn't much of an issue.
