She's just the poster-child for a new creative tool.              I agree that it is at least some ado about nothing. ;) I would point out       that most cartoons do employee actors/actresses to supply the voices. Some       pretty famous actors/actresses have supplied voices to many characters,       while others have found their primary line of acting work in supplying voices.              With at least some of the CGI animation work done over the years, there has       to be someone wearing the "green suit" and making the motions that the       animation is later added to.              I get the impression that an AI actor/actress wouldn't require a human to       supply their voice or motions for them.              Mike                      * SLMR 2.1a * "Buck McCoy?!?
