I'd prefer they simply cast someone else who can do the character's voice, without redubbing the original game. It won't sound as good, but it's better than legitimizing this practice. Soon enough voice actors will barely exist because some set of actors will have licensed their voice for use in this technology. Who would pay full price for a real actor when they can pay a fraction of the price for a company to generate the audio for them? AI models are already close to passing the audio equivalent of the Turing test. It's hard to tell that the voice narrating a tiktok video is AI unless you've heard the same voice elsewhere or the uploader made a typo.
And yeah, I am a Luddite. Idunno if you know what they were actually about, but I'm not ashamed to call myself one.
