I hope not. Jennifer Hale is amazing. She’s the reason I’ve never played as male Shepard in mass effect. She also voiced Bastila in knights of the old republic. Incredible skill/talent.
Because you don’t play it for a harsh challenge, the story is pretty decent, but I played it for worldbuilding, art style, ensemble cast, feeling of adventure and journey across a galaxy. That sort of broad feeling stuff.
Mark Meer is great, and definitely worth playing thru to experience. Not quite at the same level as Jennifer Hale’s performance, but it was still absolutely brilliant.
Still, I hear this every time I hear Shepard talk to Dr. Chakwas.
I’m not really a gamer, but I listen to a lot of audiobooks.
AI isn’t anywhere close to being able to replace “good” narrators. Maybe a bit like self driving cars - the first 90% was achieved rapidly, the next 5% took some doing but ok, now though the final 5% seems kinda unachievable on any timescale.
That said, automation (and yes, AI) tends to approach industries incrementally. A headline voice actor isn’t going to be replaced tomorrow, but maybe some low level roles are. Fewer voice actors just means less demand for the really good ones. Def not good for the industry but… time marches on I guess.

Hale is an incredible VA and she has had more roles than there are grains of sand.
It’s also funny when she voices multiple characters in the same game like Killer Frost and Hawk Girl in Injustice.
She did the Goblins webcomic animated trailer allng with Phil Lamarr! Super stoked for that.
Do one maleshep run. I promise he has some great deliveries too.
How do you play through that tripe twice? It has next to no challenge and the story is beyond stupid.

Just a matter of time. You stop it categorically or you don’t stop it.
How do you think headline voice actors start? By doing the small roles like wallas, ad libs, waiter2 and such.
If you get rid of the starting voice actors of today, you get rid of the good voice actors of tomorrow.
She was also a Spartan in Halo.
And Kyoshi and June in Avatar the Last Airbender.
