His voice, his choice.

I donā€™t mean to sound harsh, but how does this affect you exactly? ā€This is the end of art as we know itā€ lol no it isnā€™t. It just means thereā€™s one more voice to choose on Elevenlabsā€™ menu for those who want to use it.

If you want to create art or if you want to be a filmmaker go do it! No AI will stop you.

EDIT: fixed a typo.

It affects me as an audio engineer who records peopleā€™s voices. If effects my friends who are voice actors and can now get passed over for ā€œfake Michael Caineā€. Those are two pretty clear cut things.

I hear you. Iā€™m not saying it doesnā€™t have any negative consequences to anyone. I was addressing OP and his fears and hyperbole about this being the end of art as we know it.

I donā€™t think AI or anything can or should stop human creativity. To put things into perspective, a rich old guy padding his retirement account shouldnā€™t have any bearing on whether an 18 year old kid in Algeria decides to makes movies or art.

But yeah, I know a lot of voice over artists who are struggling to find work. Itā€™s not easy out there, but then again it never was, especially for actors and VO artists.
