If the TTS isn't trained on stolen data and isn't replacing human creativity I don't think that's the same thing at all. "AI" and TTS have existed for decades before the recent generative AI stuff.

Looking it up. It’s really opaque and hard to tell what the credits go to, but it seems TikTok really does pay voice actors for their work. Not my sole ethical concern, but it is complicated.
Fair enough! I just worry a lot of people are lumping all "AI" together as evil when a lot of it isn't. Especially as a game developer who has built AI but not *that* kind of AI, I worry some people won't know the difference
Text to talk is not Generative AI, it’s actually not even AI at all or any kind. They are totally different technologies. Whether or not the actors are paid is separate issue.
Siri is a great example. The lady that submitted the voice clips for Siri didn’t even know she was picked, and wasn’t compensated at all if I recall, and that was 15 yeats before genAI even existed.
