  2. His episode of the Simpson’s “the bowling hustler” is the funniest writing I have ever seen. I can’t imagine an AI saying “ Marge darling, there are ten pins in my heart, won’t you please pick up that spare”. Hank, you are on Mount Rushmore with Phil Hartman… I raise a glass to all that you have done and everything that’s yet to come.

  3. You would think the producers of The Simpsons would have more integrity.

  4. It would be a pleasure to meet Mr. Azaria. Again, or for the first time?

  5. The voice actors are getting old, and some of their voices are giving out.

    It sucks but this is another downside of AI. It’s going to replace people. Voice actors aren’t immune.

  6. I’m a voice actor who’s done at least 150 projects and my income has taken a roughly 60% hit since AI started.

  7. All while he’s trying to replace frank sinatra or Elvis whatever weird cover band he’s in

  8. The Ai needs to replace fry and Lela, they sound sooo old.

    I imagine hanks age is creeping in on his voice acting too.

    He should get royalties, tho. It’s his voice-likeness after all.

  9. Okay, but can I have a gif of his shirtless character from _The Birdcage_ ?

    I’ve always thought Hank Azaria has a nice body.

  10. There really needs to be legal restrictions on AI. I can’t believe how dystopian this is all getting

  11. If he’s saying this publicly, writing is on the wall and it’s already too late

  12. Hank will be fine for a while. Julie Kavner is going to be the first one to get it. Marge is sounding like her mother now.

  13. I thought the Actors Guild reached an agreement with studios not being allowed to use AI ??

  14. Is AI doing Hank doing Apu doubly problematic or does it cancel out?
