I cannot believe you are advocating for this. Oh wait. Yes, I can.
Advocating isn't the right word here, because I have no ability to impact the decision by Disney to use A.I. for voiceover work. This all started when the topic came up of Bill Hader not being in Inside Out 2 because Pixar wouldn't pay him big bucks for the voiceover work. Obviously the movie went on without Bill Hader's voice, or his agent's cut of that voice.
Geez, there's another job that can go away; talent agents. If the talent is A.I., there's no need for an agent.
And it's now obvious that A.I. can be used for voiceover work. So if Disney needs to reduce their bloated budgets for animation, and they certainly do, why not use A.I. for at least some of the voiceover roles? It would be cheaper and likely faster.
I'm sure this type of technological change will happen in the near future at Disney and Pixar.
