> When animation went digital, we graduated more storyboard artists and digital animators. When music notation software and sampling could replace musicians and orchestras, we graduated more musicians and composers trained on those tools.

What you explained is that tech has changed the tools used by artists.

It's substantially different with AI-based TTS, though. It's not a tool for artists, but it's a tool for movie/game/book publishers to replace human voice actors. The AI will be much much more scalable and cheaper.
