I definitely do not want to support this practice, but there's no way to filter these out 😠.

Yep, it's already happening. I did freelance voice work for a client for awhile but was replaced by a voice model because it's vastly cheaper, even if the output is also proportionally worse.

That sucks. Just know I'm doing my very tiny, infinitesimally small part to not support that practice.

It's appreciated! Luckily it wasn't my whole income, but seeing myself replaced with a really bad voice model was just gross. But hey, think of all the value it creates for shareholders!
