They generated the voice actors voices without their consent? That's fucked, they paid for the lines, not their likenesses

They payed for the voiced lines, they received the voiced lines. They can use them however they want, including changing, mixing and doing whatever else with them.

If they trained an AI with them it sounds like it's a union issue. Might be an interesting situation to see go to court though.

Yeah, I think going forward, the contracts would be rewritten to take this into account. But if old contracts did not cover it, it's probably a lost cause to be angry about it

That’s not what happened though, they didn’t take the lines, cut them up in audacity and move them around, they took all the voice samples, put it through an ai generator and generated that actors voice pulling lines in their voice that they never recorded. Not only is this in really poor taste, essentially stealing an actors voice during a really temultious time in AI development, they never asked for consent, or even told anyone that their voice would be fed into an ai model so that they could essentially get free voice overs forever without paying the actors again
