I'm a NYT bestselling author and I'm also a professional narrator.  I've voiced two of my own audiobooks and both are available via Findaway.

The SAG and voice freelancers are obviously upset because increasing reliance on AI will effectively end their careers.  As Riverko says, they ought to have read the contract before they signed.

The same thing has happened over the past couple of decades in the broadcast industry.  Broadcasters like me grew up working for one radio station; today, my best friend runs nine stations at once.

Genuine broadcast and narrating talent will be a thing of the past in another generation.  Whether that's a good thing depends, I suppose, on the number of people who benefit from the demise of quality voice work.

With "it is reckoned" in the first paragraph, one can surmise that this particular piece was written by someone in the UK.

Now, I have nothing against the UK ... I've lived in England.  However, I also know that Brits are often desperate for a bit of free entertainment.

And that's what this piece is ... free entertainment.  Frankly, I'd rather envision an updated 27" iMac than worry about whether the Studio has had its day.

Innovation takes time; copying takes far less.

John Ruskin once said that people who focus on price alone are the legitimate prey of marketplace value leaders.

Apple's loudest critics know plenty ... including the price of everything.  But they know the value of almost nothing at all.

I know I'm frighteningly out-of-touch, but I never knew PewDiePie existed until I read this article.

I wish the pleasure had been indefinitely postponed.
