I don’t think the technology is quite there for voices, but if they can get a computer to read a script and deliver lines in natural-sounding voices, with “tweakable” emotion, then they won’t need any “talent” in Hollywood at all. Why pay Tom Cruise? You can computer-generate the image and the voice and make Tom Cruise movies for 100 years. Of course, if the image and voice is really Tom, you probably have to pay Tom some amount of money. But that’s part of the transition, right? Next year you can make a fabulous blockbuster with the amazing actress Lotta Buckos. People will hunger for more movies from Lotta because she’s so sexy and has such a beautiful voice. She’s the newest Hollywood star!! And she doesn’t exist. Pure profit for decades.

Yep, have you seen the Tom Cruise Deep Fake

I’ve heard several information streams that are basically a computer reading the Wikipedia page. A little blase’ and with some mispronunciations, but acceptable.
