The headline is misleading, and the article isn&#x27;t much better.<p>It doesn&#x27;t say what the project was, or what Poyzer&#x27;s role in it was supposed to be. It&#x27;s <i>not</i> a production of &quot;Mamma Mia&quot;; it&#x27;s just identifying her as somebody who is known for being in that show.<p>I know a lot of actors, writers, and other artists who are afraid of being replaced by AI, and with good reason. The new SAG&#x2F;WGA contracts will at best delay it.<p>But I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s anywhere near ready to replace featured roles, even for voice acting. It&#x27;s hard to imagine that she just lost a starring role to AI. If that&#x27;s what happened, it is indeed an extremely big deal. I know that&#x27;s coming, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s today, and the vagueness in the article implies that it&#x27;s something else.
