Yeah, I can see that. And it's good they sought permission from and compensated the family, too.

Though I worry there's some sneaky clause about them getting to use his voice and likeness in perpetuity or something, because that seems to be the way media production is going. I worry about the precedent it sets and if clauses requiring permission for this kind of action will become boilerplate in voice actor agreements.

I get it's a challenge for media production teams of all kinds when talent dies and I see how the AI model offers a solution to this, but I'm not comfortable with its use, personally. Though, the world will change without my explicit permission plenty.
