The BBC has made a surprising decision to replace Sara Poyzer, a well-known actress famous for her role in Mamma Mia, with Artificial Intelligence.
This decision has caused a stir in the entertainment industry. Poyzer, who has had a successful career in theater and has been a part of BBC productions for over 20 years, was shocked and disappointed by this move.
She was informed of this decision through an email which stated that the BBC had approved the use of an AI-generated voice, and therefore, they no longer needed her services. Poyzer shared this news on Instagram, expressing her sadness and concern about the current state of the industry.
The email was from a production company that was working with the BBC on a project and was considering hiring her. However, they decided to use AI technology instead.
In response to her post, Poyzer expressed her dismay at the current state of the industry, describing it as “grim times.” This incident highlights the increasing use of AI in various fields and raises questions about the future of human roles in the entertainment industry.
