Let me add that there is no problem with implementing machine learning tools to make some jobs easier. For example Spiderverse used ML to help make the 2d line work on character faster, Cyberpunk 2 trained a TTS "AI" with their voice actor so writers can get an idea of how the line will sound.

In some way critical roll and lots of other shows skewed the view of the hobby and it is important to set the expectations beforehand. Newcomers could set themselves up for disappointment if not.

This is why I tell new player and even first time dm who watched critical role this : "You are not Mat Mercer and that is okay."
