    Sometimes, casting isn’t just about accents or regional authenticity—it’s about acting skill, availability, and fitting a broader character vision. If a top-tier actor can’t naturally deliver an accent, producers may weigh that against other factors. In this case, AI can serve as a compromise rather than a replacement.

      Or it’s actually about marketability and guaranteed views that certain celebrity names have and the executives don’t give a shit about being authentic.

        If studios lean on AI to “fix” things like accents, it’s because they’re prioritizing those big names over authenticity, not because AI inherently diminishes the value of authentic talent. This is a systemic issue tied to the industry’s reliance on star power for financial success, not just AI or accents.

        Viewership is ultimately dictated by audience preferences. If consumers consistently favor star-studded casts over authentic representation, studios will cater to that demand.
