      I don’t understand how having situational voicelines, with transparency and the voice actors’ affirmative consent, would make the game “unfinished”.

    I don’t like that they used them in the first place, but I’m glad to see this move. They certainly have the money.

    Damage is done from my perspective. I won’t buy a game where they think they can use AI in place of people. Or that they can “fix it in post.”

        They don’t seem to have gone about it in a bad way, but it still further opens the door to more icky practices.

            No-one else, or at least as high profile, was doing AI voicework in their games. Embark were essentially the first with The Finals.
            One successful game/studio doing it opens the door for other studios to start doing it.

                In a vacuum, in this instance, I’m mostly inclined to agree.
                It normalising the practice is what I dislike.

                  Doing pure ai voicework yea sure but paying them to do ts is still much better than just straight replacing them and i honestly dont see much difference to the female tiktok tts voice that was on every other video
