Time to replace betty with modern text to speech?

Yes, new jobs will be created, They will be ether top of the line Ai research, Or temporary low grade jobs. Betty needs to be given a chance, not the scrap heap.
Accountants greed and consumerism are the problem, we as humans need to see what we as humans need. Not what we want!

The problem is that the way it is currently, "Betty" is not able to do the job we want for her because there is no way for an actual human to record all the possible things we would want Betty to say. Want to change an encyclopedia entry? Too bad, the Betty voice is not available to come to a recording studio to do so, or at least not without great expense. Want to rename a sector in your game? No way to do this and have a human Betty come and speak it. The whole point of text to speech is being able to have the versatility, within your game, to add new things to say without having to drag a voice artist into the studio each time you want to make some minor change.

May i mention that Betty basically is text to speech, it's just that Betty uses longer elements where text to speech usually only uses single letters they string along to form words.
