AI voice acting threatens amateur passion of game modding scene
-
AI voice acting is becoming more common in game mods, allowing modders to add voice acting without hiring actors.
-
The author believes AI voice acting "sucks" - it's an inferior imitation of real voice acting that hurts games and voice actors.
-
However, the author has fonder memories of amateur voice actors in mods, who record out of passion despite lack of skill.
-
AI voices could kill this tradition of amateur voice acting that represents collaboration and affection in the modding scene.
-
While AI won't completely replace amateur voice actors, the author worries it will tempt modders away from using real volunteers.
