Sounds like the skepticism was well-grounded then. I had already forgotten about The Finals AI voice thing. Anyway, I meant voice acting that wouldn't have been done at all due to costs or whatnot, not e.g. alien voices. I think for a game like ARC Raiders, that's probably not much, because probably everything that isn't text in the game world gets voice acted, but I think it's still an interesting point. For example, a lot of older games have only partial voice acting, and some characters might not have any voice acting. AI could be used for voice acting in such instances without AI actually replacing people (if it's actually AI versus no voice, which is tricky to determine). Of course it's probably a thing mostly for indie games... but indie devs don't seem too excited about using AI regardless, so it's probably not a particularly relevant point in most cases. |
What you're describing is what some mods already do. Many Besthesda games have mods that are like expansions and feature new story plots, lines and voices, that are usually made with AI. Although some mods manage to do it with real human voices by asking fans to do it for free instead of hiring actors. |
Unsurprising, although I don't generally use a lot of mods anymore. I've seen some full AI dialog mods though, but I hadn't heard of doing human-written lines using AI in mods - but like I said, not a huge surprise anyway... Anyway, thanks for sharing!
