Why would I need the 50 people of the metropolis of Gamebryonia to tell me 500 lines of meaningless flavour text instead of 50? I seriously don't get the point.
I'd argue the entire opposite actually, putting voice actors out of work for the slop machine is indubitably bad but at least with human written lines you could tell the voice AI to sound gruff or flirty or despaired or whatver and actually add something of meaning to the game compared to a textfield of markov chained bullshit
What I mean is you could have writers craft very detailed branching dialogue trees for lots of characters and not worry about budget. Basically since the early 2000's we've had the problem of a huge reduction in dialogue because people expect voices. You can't even revise quests and things as easily because maybe they already recorded voice lines and you have to keep to that.
