Exactly. If we thought the companies would fold in AI thoughtfully as one tool of many for game creators to consider when implementing their vision I doubt people would be negative. As it stands we trust companies to continue doing what they’re doing: forcing workers to incorporate AI into their workflow because they’re rich friends at google/meta/openAI really really need the technology to succeed to make back anything on their investment even though the profit step still reads ??? in their master plan anyway.
Funnily enough, the Arc Raiders team “did it right” like this and still got shit. They paid artists and made special models to pre-generate some voice clips, none of it is used at runtime, and people were still upset.
The well is beyond poisoned at this point.
That’s still not “right”. Just because some voice actors foolishly agreed to it. I don’t want to hear pregenerated voices I want to hear performances.
That would be why I used the phrase in quotes, I don’t agree with it

To be perfectly honest, I'd still be against it as long as it is trained on the stolen work of regular people.
Not only is it devoid of artistry and creativity, generative AI as it is today is cultural exploitation and plagiarism on an unprecedented industrial scale. It's incredibly unethical on top of being slop.
