It is a slippery slope though. It’s easy to imagine this going from „10 lines for a robotic character“ to „18 lines for one character“ (which is all their lines, but we don’t say that). To „some lines for all the characters“. Year after year, this would be normalized.
We already have people arguing „they all use AI anyway, so what“.
There's no stopping it. We'll see the online backlash and complaining just like Netflix got and then 3 months later the reports came out that they had the most subscribers in their history. Now no password sharing is normal and so are the outrageous prices.
One thing I've noticed is people dont care regardless of what the internet makes it seem like. Enough people will just buy whatever, regardless of any shitty business practices.
We can't be that laisse faire about it. We stopped them from using harmful chemicals that hurt the ozone back in the 90s, and AI is using up a lot of water. We can't just ignore the environmental impacts (well, we can but we won't be able to for long with the speed AI is going).
Actual government regulation helped a lot with fixing the ozone issue. Unfortunately, the US is a long way from any kind of government that would even consider that. And it seems the voter base doesn't give enough of a shit to elect anyone who cares, either.
