🔥 Voice Actors vs. Microsoft's Announced AI Tools
posted 9 Nov 2023
Microsoft's newly announced AI tools for crafting dialogues and quests
in games have sparked controversy in the gaming community. Concerns
arise about potential declines in game quality, while voice actors fear
job loss and view such automation as a threat to nurturing new talent.
For
instance, Elias Toufexis, the voice behind Deus Ex's protagonist,
criticized the move, arguing that these technologies deprive the craft
of its essence since many actors begin with minor and quest-related
roles before advancing their careers.
Microsoft, in turn, has vowed to use the tools responsibly and to actively support the voice acting profession.
