Did they train something on an actors voice, or use the actors voice recordings without contractual permission?
OR:
Did they use an AI voice and some filters to make the character talk without hiring an actor?
Because if it’s the second, who cares? If it’s the first, they should be raked over the coals.
Did bush actually have time for what’s claimed here? He was mostly about removing rights from Americans in the face of a sham war. I don’t think he actually had much focus on tax breaks for rich people…
Obama continued that ritual, removing even more rights from the American people under the guise of “safety”. And Obama could have shoved Universal healthcare through but didn’t - he watered it down in the name of “bipartisanship”, but then ultimately nobody voted for the bill on the right anyways. If that were going to be the case, he should have just rammed through what the American people NEEDED; but he didn’t – because he wanted MORE MONEY FOR RICH PEOPLE (insurance companies)
Hell, Obama bombed more brown people than any president before him as well…let’s not pretend he was an angel.
“In fact, asking the chatbot comes across worse than not asking for help at all.”
Hey, wouldn’t want anyone to be self sufficient and want to complete a task on their own or anything! Remain dumb! Don’t search! Just throw your hands up and go “I don’t know!” and then don’t do ANYTHING!
Yeah. Completely sane thinking…
Every search you’ve ever done for information on the internet, has been steeped in the beginnings of what LLMs are today. LLMs are the culmination of the work done on search engines to find words and phrases relation to other words. Even the ones that aren’t “chatbots”, use similar methodology to try and get you what you’re looking for. That’s what propelled Google to the top of search.
I usually physically take drives out and boot without them before wiping. Just something I do now, because of this exact situation.
There was that one guy who got charged $60k in late fees at blockbuster though.
I’m one of the few dudes who didn’t think sewing was for women back in school, and let me tell you - that shit is worth having as a skill. Legitimately being able to tailor your own clothing is legit.
However, I’m not gonna dump on people without the skill to do it - just like I won’t dump on people who use modern tools to create graphics.
Nobody is talking about chatbots in this topic… one of the very first chatbots could probably follow this topic better than you are right now, while we’re discussing that…

Do you even play titles that single indy developers release on places like itch.io? I have been for years, and there’s a significant increase in quality due to AI usage; Game Jams ESPECIALLY you see a lot higher quality, completed submissions.
I’ve never met a person in my life who thinks lizards are disgusting. They need to eat bugs constantly, which makes them better than spiders - some of which can go a year without eating - and they’re cute with their little mating rituals. Geckos too.
This will end up causing the murderer to get out on appeal, I guarantee it.
Imagine being purposely ignorant, and then also being proud of that fact. There’s another cult I know of that does the same thing.
Yeah, that’s definitely a hallucinated article.
I … quite literally … showed you it working… flawlessly. Today. Now. The only thing someone needs to do is make the pipeline to do it all automatically. It’s literally already possible, right now. You’re denying what is right in front of you. This isn’t a “in 50 years” thing, this is a … Netflix will probably have auto-dubbed, auto-lip-sync as an option in their library in the next year or less.
The only thing stopping this from happening would be SAG-AFTRA fighting against the re-dubs because they want their actors to make even more money even though their characters didn’t do any extra work.
It’s only a matter of time before someone ends up doing it anyways, regardless. This isn’t a futuristic fever dream, it’s already possible NOW.
Absolutely hilarious that I show you a picture perfect example of its use, and you’re counter-claiming that it’s a pipe dream and not as good as I say…when the proof is literally right in front of you.
Free assets are worthless if they don’t match the art style. One of the biggest problems in indie games is assets that don’t match. Free assets only go so far.
Then there are things like Suno for creating music. etc. You can deny deny deny all you want if it makes you feel better, but you’re already lapping it up without knowing.
Hell, RealtimeSTT is a great library for doing realtime speech to text, giving people with disabilities the resources needed to participate in media they otherwise couldn’t.
There’s lots of benefit, not all “AI” are LLMs.
We’ll be reaching a point soon where foreign film voices are kept, but translated into languages the world-over in the actor/actresses voice, providing unbridled access to media that would have otherwise been unwatched - leading to ever broader cultural reach than before. We’re closer than ever to a universal translator using this technology. Even to the point of matching lipsync to non-native languages.
https://www.youtube.com/@Thoisoi2 - is a great example of this. His latest videos dub an AI voice over (using HIS VOICE!), and then he also lipsyncs his footage to the voiceover - because he’s not a native english speaker. (he has a THICK russian accent if you watch videos from multiple years ago)
This video in-particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsvLkmNq74s
This leads to better understanding, clearer speech, more viewer retention, and unless you know he’s doing it - it doesn’t bother you at all. But it’s a HUGE boon for him and his channel.
Here’s one of his earlier video for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSzgvP0OW-Q
Out of fear of this community retaliating against those examples, I’m afraid not. I do have specific games I could mention, but I’m not willing to point them out to a community who would likely harass said developers.
However if you’re willing to seek them out, I suggest Godot Developers discord, lots of this going on in Unity/Unreal discord communities as well. AI is being used in a vast number of places to speed up development of artists who would otherwise wade away in tedium to get their jobs done.
I’m in a bunch of amateur game dev communities where it’s just teens and 20-somethings with no spare money, and I see it every single hour of every single day.
The whole “cut of the profits” doesn’t work for artists, because profits of $0 still mean you’re working for free. Most artists won’t oblige that kind of work.
Lots of these guys are using AI for the general concept, and then having other AI clean up the original work, either by turning it into 3D models, or using mixamo to add animations, etc. I know at least 8 of the indie games I’ve bought rather recently on steam use AI in various places, but with someone touching up the work afterwards to hide any defects.

I actually like how it’s bringing indy (TRUE INDY; as in single person) titles much higher quality because the programmers don’t have to be these multi-talented savants.
You’d be surprised at how much AI you’re already gulping down without realizing it’s AI, and how many things you’re saying are AI, that aren’t.
If JEJ granted voice rights, then that’s peachy. Nobody owes someone else that job. Sounds like JEJ locked it down.
The idea that actors are required to be hired is kind of nonsense. Every industry has had to deal with less people required to produce the same amount of output. At this point, JEJ voice of Darth Vader IS Darth Vader. I can understand the studio wanting to retain that. Replacing voice actors is often jarring for the viewer.
