If this is being done with the consent of the seiyuu and they're getting paid I don't see how this is any less ethical than something like SynthV or Cevio.

It was inevitable that this would happen. Mimicry is one of the jobs reinforced learning AI is very good at. This being Japan I am sure their contracts stated they could do this, whether or not the voice actors knew about it when they signed.

Without even having to look into it I'm sure the answers are: yes and yes. What a strange post. |

Article: "Talent management agency Aoni Production and AI voice platform CoeFont announced a new partnership on Monday. The first project under the partnership uses vocal data from 10 voice actors, including Masako Nozawa and Banjō Ginga, to create AI-replicated voices for use in virtual assistants (such as Alexa and Google Assistant), medical devices, robots, and voice-assisted navigation."
Medical, robots, and voice-assisted navigation seems fair game to me, provided the seiyuu did consent and got or are getting paid. Now, over-relying on such automated technology can still be bad as it cannot match every thing that a person would do performing such a task. |
