FWIW, this is kinda happening right now, albeit in a sort of "innocent" garage project sort of way. There are mods for Skyrim that take the voice work created by skilled actors, and use it to generate convincing additional dialog that they never consented to nor got paid for. Laura Baily is already seeing herself being AI'd by her own fans.
And this is with homemade software. Wait until the good stuff comes out.
If Tiktok simply added a perfect Biden and Trump voice filter that one action would likely fuck up our politics more than all of the Russian interference in 2016 combined.
The difference is they almost certainly can't make money off of those. I hope that forward looking games negotiate contracts with their actors for mods using their performances to be commercial, and they get part of that revenue. It would be great for the modding scene to be able to have "voice-acted" content that fit into the game without the resources that the studio has.
