Will AI/Elevenlabs replace voice actors?

Why do actors always write one-person shows?

I’ve just been casted for an advertisement for some branded alcohol, what kind of questions should I be asking if the company that hired me?

I don’t have an agent and am daily inexperienced when it comes to this field (acting for commercials). What kind of things do I need to know going forward, that perhaps an actor would learn over time? Thanks :)
