Not only voice actors, include radio hosts, documentary/news content, any voice over for anything, as well as imitation of familiar voices.

This will really open pandoras box for scammers and other bad actors. Grandma won't know she's speaking with an AI.

Grandma already falls for scams. Will I know I’m speaking with an AI?

I really can't tell half the time on easy-to-spam forums like Reddit if I'm chatting with an AI or a human.

Any interaction that you didn’t kick off is a scam. Whether is is an AI or human is irrelevant.

That would mean any interaction I initiate is a scam for the other party

I think this easiest question for a turing test to AI: "What would you choose as a turing test for an AI?"

I have an AI service from my mobile company that talks to scammers. Idea is to hold scammer on call as much as possible. Then you can listen or read transcribe of those calls.

The "budget advantage" doesn't matter in the top half of the industry; directing a human voice talent is not going away anytime soon.

Budget clients are suspicious of AI voices and feel "cheated" if they think someone they hired are using one. This will change fastest.
