I think the voices could easily be done by computer with current
technology - if by 'by computer' you mean through a process analogous
to that used for most computer animation, which involves a great deal
of painstaking human labor.  Hire a couple dozen expert sound
designers and have them spend two years on the dialogue track,
meticuously designing the inflection of every syllable one by one.  No
new breakthroughs or fancy AI required - though the sound guys might
need some practice and experience before they can do it well - it's
just that nobody's seen fit to do it that's all.
