You don't need AI to do that, that kind of system can be made independent of AI. It's just not worth doing for this one use case vs using it for a whole voice.
Making the text to speech program sound like the voice actor who voiced the character who is trying to say your name is the part that requires AI.
Honestly, the problem is that "AI" is a dumb term that is way over used in these situations. Outside of Science Fiction, AI has generally been used to describe what "the next big thing" computers can do.
Using a term like "Large Language Model" to refer to ChatGPT explains what it actually does. Or Deep-Learning Text to image models for the image generation.
I remember playing around with TTS on a Apple ][ plus as a kid, there is nothing new about that, but using statistical models to have them imitate a voice is new, but just lumping them all in with Artificial Intelligence, is just dumb.
