Was excited, but AI voices/text isn't necessary

Pre-generated voice cloning/text to speech where it makes sense creatively."

Hire someone. Pay them.

Still a mixed bag for both sides....

New tech allows extremely well voiced dialogue generated by AI.
The voicing AI tech is way better nowadays compared to Microsoft Sam for example.
Our company uses transcription and voice AI and we made a survey with about 1.5 million participants on it if people are able to tell the difference and oh wonder the result was that the average of identified AI voices was 50%

So yeah I am for the usage of AI voiceover if real actors are not affordable. Especially because tech gets better and better every year - nay month!

I'd rather have near infinite AI dialogue. Not some cringe mid tier voice actor with 3 lines. Look at the dialogue in Dragon's Dogma 2 to see repeated voice actor crap.

I assume you'll not be buying this game on steam on account of how online stores run on computers have replaced tens of thousands of retail jobs.

Stealing assets and code can also be helpful when you don't have a lot of money to develop something that doesn't make it right and not lazy.

The problem with AI isn't the automation and convenience. Which is why Steam destroyed retail.

It's the fact that it's outright stealing stuff from people that didn't give their explicit permission nor were they properly compensated for being used to make the algorythm that is making them rich.

Steam at least pays the devs in their storefront. Can't say the same about AI that trained with random people and actor's data.

Ai voices are perfectly fine by me. Even more if it allows small team to deliver a lot of content. In the next years the best games will be implementing more an more features generated by AI and it will be great.

they'll eventually switch to actual voice actors once they get money which is almost a gaurentee

Necro but it has to be said, this is just a stupid take.
