The number one thing that people should take from this is that Hoyo is willing to replace striking actors
If you believe they’re willing to do that, you shouldn’t have much trouble accepting that they’ll replace working actors with AI.

Last week, two voice actors for Hoyoverse game Zenless Zone Zero were recast because they were withholding work due to the SAG-AFTRA Interactive strike.
In these videos, we discuss what happened, why the actors chose to withhold work, and what all this has to do with the threat of AI.

They only care about their own pleasure because "my waifu!" or "my husbando!"
HoYo should disappear, along with their scammy games.
Hoyo wasn't willing to sign and work with those.
The strike isn't arbitrarily punitive. Agree to the conditions and you can keep working fine.
(I might not understand this correctly, but that's my understanding.)

Already debunked by actors both working on and not working on Hoyo games
“It’s the VA Agencies!”
Nope.
Hoyo are the ones making the call.
You either accept that? Or live in your fantasy world and keep playing your mobile game.
I was really hoping it was the agency doing it, but if it really is Hoyo then I have to accept it.
Guess I'm not getting back into HSR. I won't support this kind of abuse of actors.
Thank you for making this unignorably clear.
