Netflix has utilized AI technology from ElevenLabs to recreate the voice of the late actor Gene Wilder for its upcoming reality competition show, "Wonka's The Golden Ticket." The show, inspired by "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," will feature challenges based on the book and the 1971 film where Wilder famously portrayed Willy Wonka. While the recreation was done with the consent of Wilder's estate and his wife, the use of AI to replicate a deceased performer's voice has sparked debate and raised questions about artistic integrity and the potential displacement of human actors.
