Mario seems like the perfect character to replace the voice actor with an AI. He barely says anything, and often it’s what he already said before.

That's an insult to Charles' talent. The man is a professional voice actor and his sense can't be replaced by AI. Replicated maybe, but not replaced.

I think the thing AI can't do is inspired delivery of lines. Mario doesn't say much, but the way it is said is very important. I think it would be easier to replace most characters in Final Fantasy games with AI than it would Mario.
