Ask HN: Are voice over artists still in demand?

I see that text to speech is becoming better due to deep networks. But what I’m curious about is whether actual human voice demand is still present. Do people still use voice over artists? If so, why?

Every radio commercial, TV announcement, advertising video, movie, and animated program uses voice actors. Text to speech isn't good at emotion or character and those things will always be needed in the creative arts and the businesses based on them.
