Would you object the idea of CBU3 using Ai voice to voice player character?

[Rithy255]

I'd just want more dialog interactions as my character, obviously we can't impact much of the story but I'd like it if it felt like i got to choose how I expressed myself more. I don't really need my characters to talk I just want to actually feel like I'm choosing what i say more often, instead of being a silent npc who nods ect.

I don't really want more Ai stuff in games, so yes I'd be against it.

[TaleraRistain]

I don't need my character voiced using some voice that doesn't match her personality. And especially not using AI trained with stolen voice samples instead of hiring voice actors.

[Avidria]

Yeah, super not interested in that. Im fine filling in the blank for what my wol is saying.

Even if current AI voices weren't still uncanny and awkward sounding, I wouldn't be interested.

My apologies if my topic has offended anyone, as that was not my intention.(pun intended lol)

A genuine question here, those who object the idea, are any of you have an art career background such as voice actor, illustrator, composer etc etc?

Did you object the idea out of appreciation of human-made art? or out of career stability?

When I started this thread, I was under the impression that players in general don't really care if their game is developed by either human or AI.

As for why I reached this conclusion,
A bit of personal lore dump here,
I m an artist that used to be part of a R18 game doujin circle that publish R18 game on dlsite, and I saw some R18 game that is developed purely by AI and yet still sold a lot, and Palworld success don't help that either, I stopped drawing after that and left the doujin circle.

Not gonna lie though, seeing 5 page of post that's reject the idea of AI voice, it does restore some of my faith toward players in general lol

It's going to happen eventually whether people like it or not. The game has already had VAs die for two characters, with AI those characters can keep that VA even after their death. This is the future and you can't stop it anymore than the horse and buggy unions could stop the Ford Model T.

....... You do realize they can recast other VA to voice that characters, right?

No one company wants to be first to try, especially with an existing IP that's already making them money, it's a nice QOL but cost to return for existing titles that already preform well is low.

Also having an AI voice your character is not really the best route in an MMO. What would be better is having the main NPC's in cutscenes AI voiced. We're all wearing headsets with Mics or standing mics, so there is no reason you could not physically speak and have the AI NPC's interact with your actual statements. AI in the industry is early days but it's coming and coming fast.

I'd rather they not take away jobs from real voice actors.

Industries evolve overtime people lose out, it happens not point fighting it. It's like TV and radio.

[Burmecia]

i like silent protag, but i also use naturalreader all the time
guess while i wouldnt make bot speak for my character, i would love to be able to just make it read out loud when i am """too lazy""" to read

i like genshin mc sometimes speaking something, maybe design like that would work for ffxiv too

Both TV and Radio have strong unions that are fighting the utilization of their work as fuel for AI.
