Check out the demos at https://www.descript.com/overdub

I wouldn’t call the voices unconvincing. They used to have a better demo though where it would impersonate celebrities like Trump. It was very interesting to demo it.

Obviously it's subjective, but all of these demos have the 'watery' digital sound that's an immediate giveaway. By definition they're unconvincing.

I am using descript for a project of mine. You can definitely still hear that they are AI-generated. But I'm sure it's not gonna take long. Couple this with SSML and it's going to be quite convincing.
