So let’s hear it. Hand an AI Leviathan Wakes, the first book of The Expanse, and see how it does. My money is on it being garbage, but let’s hear it.

Jefferson Mays is tough to beat as a human.

Worse, hand an AI a Terry Pratchett book, see how that goes.

Calling it now, EA is going to do it anyway if they haven't already, and tell them all to go pound sand.

Hopefully it’ll finally usher in their downfall. Can’t imagine the slop they’ll kick out with AI generated voices, models, scripts, and other assets.

I’m gonna be disappointed when it somehow makes them the most profitable game company of all time instead.

Considering EA is known for making sports games clones of each other that only change the year in the title and people still buy it, I wouldn't be shocked if nothing comes out of this.

Good for them

When Star Wars (1976) came out, it cost 12 million to make and had almost no advertising. The "advertising" was word-of-mouth.

Modern games and movies wouldn't need to set aside 100 million dollar advertising budgets (on TOP of the cost of their product) if they would simply stop writing shit.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Then they wouldn't have to make up the advertising costs with subtransactions (micro transactions doesn't seem like the right word anymore when they cost over $5 a pop).

The great thing about ai is you don’t need to get a voice actor to do it

Just some random person that knows it won’t be a career and could use $5

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

You don't even need that. You can generate a voice entirely through AI (or even non-AI tools that have existed for a long time before generative AI was a thing).

sounds like EA

Voice actors fighting AI exploitation is the resistance we need in this dystopian tech landscape.
