Damn it. All good things have to be ruined by creepy people.

It is a can of worms we were going to have to figure out either way. The power of these tools are impressive but they can get a little out of hand as shown with fools making NSFW mods with them but that is only one aspect. We have to keep in mind we can see companies screwing VAs out of jobs because of this tech as well which will likely have far more importance. In a way this tech can also be liberating for bad actors since we are now entering into a new phase of "Post truth" reality or I guess it may be better to say the democratization of fake news/false narratives, we were already at the door of this era but these AIs put us way past that door now. Its rather unfortunate since the power of this stuff can lead to some insanely cool concepts. Like the idea that fans could in theory restore cut content from games and even be able to replicate voice acting to make it feel closer to the original game. Hell how about inserting voice acting in games that never had it or were nonviable to have voice acting for every character in things like Baldur's gate, neverwinter nights, planescape torment, original fallouts, etc. Many of these games are beloved classics but they are sometimes missing some of the things we are used to in more modern games.
