If you destroy the steps, you destroy the path.
Making sure you're better than AI is only half the battle.
The health of an industry is not just determined by those people playing at the highest level.
It's also determined by the fresh blood coming into it.
The unheard voices.
The irreverent approaches.
The unique backgrounds and experiences.
Without them, a talent pool can only stagnate.
Or, at best, the industry becomes dominated by those people who can afford to play in it.
I'm not saying voice talent doesn't need to consistently get better and utilise AI technology when possible.
I've heavily invested 25% of my income into further training over the last seven years and continue to do so. An investment that was partly made possible thanks to the hundreds of 'lower profile' jobs I recorded over that period.
But the 'get better or go home' sentiment is an overly-simplistic take to a nuanced and complex problem.
And we all know how well the internet does nuance.
