GTA Voice Actor Slams AI Company for Unauthorized Chatbot
-
Ned Luke, voice of GTA 5's Michael, blasts AI company WAME for using his voice for a Michael chatbot without permission, calling it "f***ing bullshit."
-
WAME claimed the chatbot used an independently synthesized version of Luke's voice, not a direct copy.
-
WAME has since apologized to Luke and removed the chatbot, calling it a "pivotal moment in harmonising AI technology with relevant legal statutes."
-
AI is a hot topic in gaming, with Square Enix aggressively pursuing it, but many voice actors remain sceptical.
-
SAG-AFTRA recently introduced an agreement to allow artists to "safely explore" AI voice opportunities, concerning some actors.
