AI voices are popping up everywhere , from audiobooks to YouTube explainer videos, but SAG-AFTRA has just drawn a line in the sand. In this episode, the team dives into the union's new "no contract, no work" order against companies using AI voice replicas without being signatories.

We unpack:

• What the new SAG-AFTRA policy means for voice actors.

• Why YouTube is demonetizing AI-driven "headless" channels.

• The growing issue of AI-generated bands and synthetic music on Spotify.

• The human factor: Will art survive if AI takes over the creative process?

Plus, a few old-school ideas about bringing back handwritten letters and board games!
