What Happened
In a message to the family, Pellicer said she had “just lost a voice over job to AI.” Magnaye then shared a screenshot of that message on Facebook. Her brother, Renzo, tried to comfort their mom by saying it might simply be a budget issue. Still, Pellicer called it a sad and frustrating day, since she had worked with that client for many years.
What Inka Magnaye Said About AI
Magnaye said her heart breaks for all artists and creatives. She also questioned big brands that choose AI to save money. In her view, AI can be a useful tool, but it should never replace human talent.
On top of that, she said AI voice-overs, art and music feel lifeless because AI is not alive. As a result, she warned that audiences can tell the difference and may judge brands for it.
A Hopeful Ending
Instead of ending on a sad note, Magnaye turned the post into a job ad of sorts. She invited brands and companies to hire her mom, joking that Pellicer’s schedule had just freed up.
