    Seems like voice actors are safe for now. This is technologically incredible, but the results are really not very good, and usually not particularly close to the prompt. In basically all of these examples some core part of the prompt is completely ignored.

      Um, what?

        I've used TTS in videos to replace the speech of the person talking so that we could type up whatever we need them to say in editing.

        They sounded exactly like that person... but it's like they're angry at me.

        Great toys but not production ready.
