Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Anytime someone brings up A I to you, it's perfectly valid to respond with "oh yeah, that thing that convinces kids to kill themselves"
In case you needed one more reason not to use AI …
The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:
Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.

I say this with empathy toward every struggling actor who is just trying to make due:
Providing your voice for A.I. undermines everyone in the industry. It is a net negative, that will only make it harder for you and everyone else down the line.
It. Is. Wrong.

“But in ARC Raiders the GenAi voices were officially sanctioned by the actors! And so did Fortnite!” - and their agreement to this undermines everything the rest of us Voice Actors, our union, and other industries have been fighting against.

Waiting for the billion dollar lawsuit against Fox News.
BBC chair Samir Shah sent a personal letter to Trump saying "he and the Corporation are sorry for the edit of the President’s speech," adding that Panorama won't air again on the BBC.
Shah added that while he "sincerely regrets" the edits, he doesn't think there's a "basis for a defamation claim."

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Bonfire Night is such a curious event.
It's easy to take it as a Celebration of the rise of the working man over their Upper Class oppressors but dig a little deeper and you realise it is infact the British Government making an example of someone so hard they turned it into an annual Holiday.
