“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”
Oh come on. That’s funny. Why does this author have a stick up their butt about this absolutely nothing burger? I’m actually somewhat irritated that you wasted my time with this complete non-story. At least I know about a new game, but seriously we don’t need to have a post about every single thing that’s posted on a gaming website, because a lot of it is just filler, like this.
Meh. I think it’s amusing, not offensive.

Ah yes, of course! AI characters must be voiced by AI, or you’ll hurt ChatGPT’s feelings. You don’t want to make ChatGPT cry!
with AGI almost here.
Sure, it will arrive almost at the same time their dad will, with the milk.
I feel like these people insult humanity every time they figuratively ‘open their mouths.’
Also, I want to say “AGI is nowhere near” but then I realized that we really do already have software as vapid as these people are. I guess, to be fair, that looks like proper, true intelligence from the perspective of someone who has none of their own. :-\
Some Roko’s Basilisk nonsense. I wish I could take it as a joke but truly there’s no guarantee anymore
“We thought having the ai voiced by ai would be cute” would have been acceptable, had they paid a voice actor to train the model. It doesn’t say in the article but I’m assuming they used some off-the-shelf model, which is tantamount to theft unless the company selling it in turn paid for use of everything in their corpus.
The “take that, liberal snowflakes” framing is beyond crazy.
Cringe to be offended by that
I guess they wanted people to know they were chuds by telling the one chud joke: “Are you triggered yet, wokies? Tee-hee, we’re so naughty! 🤭”
I’m not quite sure what the fuss is about with this one - I thought it was quite a clever joke, and I don’t really think there’s anything distasteful about it. Still, the game is of no interest to me whatsoever.
Feels like manufactured outrage to farm engagement
LOL Well, that was certainly wild…Very chud of them, looks like they are on the ignored studio list. Good job.
I don’t see where’s the problem here. It’s the only specific case where a TTS gives better results than a voice actor
I didn’t see any outrage for the use of a TTS for glados in portal games
Because Glados wasn’t TTS. She was voiced by Ellen McLain.
Yeah but given the Portal came out 20 years ago I think their decision not to use an AI generated voice was probably more to do with the lack of AI generated Voice technology than any kind of moral decision
Lmao the pearl clutching is absolutely sending me. Not only is their comment hilarious, the reaction in this thread is gold, too. Never change, Lemmy weirdos.
This 100%. Not surprised that lemmy can’t identify a joke.
