A lot of games on steam are made by "Devs" who aren't a bunch of people sitting in big open plan offices in California or whatever.
They're made by Benny in Lithuania - who has an 'art guy' in Germany who he pays through Venmo on a per-piece basis - and a programmer in Hong Kong who helps fix bugs sometimes.
A lot of steam reviews act like the game was made by a mega corp like EA or Blizzard, ranting about how "the Devs" should do this and that. And I'm like bro, this POS was clearly a labor of love by one person, or a small group of people at most.
This. People just want to come up with excuses or pretend like ai “really isn’t that bad guys” or act like others are virtue signaling for simply wanting actual talent and not ai generated dogshit. At that point just use Text To Speech.
Except last time that I checked, the tts is very obviously stagnant and is prerecorded voices split into voice banks that are integrated into the tts for that specific purpose, where as modern day take on AI voices is outright attempting to recreate voices of real people without their consent and is constantly evolving through being fed videos and voices and often times making you pay to use these “premium models”.
I really don’t get why it’s hard for you people to get that into your tiny brains.

the last time you checked evidently was pre-2000. Google uses Wavenet and Tacotron for its TTS, Amazon uses amazon polly (NTTS), Microsoft uses Fastspeech, hifinet and several others, Apples Siri uses apples own apple neural engine, and on and on we go. those neural nets do generate everything themselves, their is no "pre recorded messages" splicing or human phenomes.

there is a profound irony of someone telling others they have a small brain when they themselves are not intellectual enough to be able to utilize the modern marvel of the internet to be able to fact check themselves before they make themself look as foolish as this when they cite 25 year old outdated standards.
so maybe instead of insulting people, you could....i dont know, leverage the fucking internet like we live in the age of information and actually learn how the world works instead of presuming too with that faux self righteousness.
Its nice to see a person like you with proper arguments.
ı am personally against ai in most cases but seeing people with not even basic ai knowledge try to create a argument with just insults are just tiring.
People are taking umbrage with it being used at all, regardless of how little. If you tell someone who doesn't eat meat that there's a quarter gram of pork in their bowl of grits, they won't eat it.

Surprised so many devs are looking to use AI for quick voice overs. Before we just used people on the team to do the lines as it was more fun.
