“At his peak, Burt, who has been in the voiceover industry for 15 years, says he was bringing in six figures a year. ‘I never thought I’d get to that point as an artist or actor, so I was crazy-proud,” he says. “Now I sell storage to pay my rent.’ While Burt says people have been talking about the threat of #AI for at least the past four years, he says it wasn’t until 2024 that things started declining rapidly.

“That was when I started seeing more and more #AITraining #jobs out there,” he says. “They were getting #VoiceActors to participate in their own demise.”

“The real visceral moment, that kick in the pants, was my voice being cloned,” he says. “A previous client took recordings that we completed together, cancelled the contract and fed those recordings into an #AIModel.”
The same year, Burt lost 40 per cent of his annual turnover. Now, he says it is down 90 per cent.”

For my parents generation, people born during the 1930s, mass consumption of music and other arts became the norm.

Instead of playing music being social being something that unites us, the consumption of music and art became an identity marker, a signal of status, of wealth.

And since the stories about music and the arts are written for mass consumption, they only focus on famous people, their hubris, betrayals, and their tragedies.

From cradle to grave, we have been trained as commodified people, taught the pseudo-science of Social Darwinism as self-evident human nature.

The isolation of relentless competition for status and wealth now defines many relationships, and so define arts.

For thousands of years most art was folk art, that was its purpose, its function; it was already naturally “democratized”.
