that quickly enough, oke.zone expert system will have the ability to re-create the sounds of the more than 100 voices I developed for characters on The Simpsons over almost 4 decades,’ said Hank.

Azaria added: ‘He’s appeared in just about every episode of The Simpsons.

‘He’s been frightened, in love, struck in the head and, usually, in a state of bitter hatred. I’ve chuckled as Moe in dozens of ways by now. I have actually probably sighed as Moe 100 times,’ the actor continued.

‘In terms of training AI, that’s a lot to deal with.’

That is due to the fact that ‘our bodies and souls’ play a big part in creating a character, included Hank.

He wrote: ‘I ’d like to think that no matter how much an AI variation of Moe or Snake or Chief Wiggum will sound like my voice, something will still be missing - the humanness.

‘There’s so much of who I am that goes into producing a voice. How can the computer conjure all that? …
