this SINGLE PERSON figured out how to use AI to turn every quest npc into a voice actor. is the age of blizzard pushing the innovation in the gaming industry only read about in the history books? you guys used to be the cool kids table at the lunch room.
Finding a way to totally shaft your voice actors by using AI? Kotick will be all over this.
someone didnt play through legion and have to suffer with the high mountain tauran VAs.
Or the night elves, specially that one questline with Thaon.
frankly i’d prefer if they kept ai to memery. Id rather have like…real voice actors or none at all in a professional setting unless its strictly used for comedy.
Regardless of what you prefer, this is the way of the future, times have changed.
blizzard isnt willing to pay real vas. are you not paying attention to every quest before legion?
we’ll see i guess.
AI is scary crazy. I wrote a book about AI getting too smart and nuking the world
AI is not a good thing
text-to-speech is not that hard.
it might sound a little monotone though.

it sounds very good
if the companies can just hire the voice actors to lend their voiceses and just let most of the work be done by the AI all they have to do is pay the voice actors a proper way like royalty or something.
like you get a % from the game money just for lending your voice and basically you did get pay money every month with out doing any work basically.
but i suppose companies are way to greedy and they won’t do this so i see why you are right.
That sounded like garbage.
it is not but saddly human greed will land us in this chaos that is a posibility to come.
sounds a lot better than monotone ai, which is what i was replying to.
It actually sounded good enough to be suitable for the type of NPCs it was used on.
The voice is cringe and I never wanna hear it implemented into npcs. This WOULD kill voice actor job openings entirely.
Nope! You’ll never get the same true passionate voice from an AI that you would get from a human. AI can’t add feeling and tone to it in all the right moments.
The future of hiring someone to record a few lines then yeeting them into the void of unemployment once the machine has enough data to copy them.
A VI won an art contest, voice and speech is at the end of the day easily turned into 1s and 0s.
For a true AI? Walk in the park
AI is lame.
