"They'll put your voice in a database and use it without your knowledge" gamers: idc "This'll take away jobs from real voice actors" gamers: lol

@tredlocity i would possibly enjoy this if it was definitely Just Local Data and not fucking used elsewhere, just to fuck around in my own personal game, but considering these are AAA companies like EA im assuming the chances of that is zero.

@whilomm The only thing that would prevent that is government regulation, I imagine.

@tredlocity Don't worry, EA will back down the moment they hear high pitched kids screaming and slurs.

@Mika_6419 That's not what this tech does.

@tredlocity there’s no good situation to even use this in. like the ones i can think of are better done by you just speaking yourself or using your imagination just the slightest bit.

@Liseran23 I dunno. Having the character you created speak in your voice (or any voice you entered) in cutscenes sounds like an idea many people would be into.

@tredlocity this would rule if capitalism wasn't real

@tredlocity Tbh 99% of people play casually and never heared of this problem

@hassledvania I guess a better way of putting it is "Tricking people into legally giving consent."

@tredlocity I, for one, support the nightmare world we are entering ( it will be funny to watch)

@tredlocity Wait but who would actually recognise their own voice, we hear them differently because of vibrations in our skulls

@tredlocity They'll change it once players start saying racial and homophobic slurs

@tredlocity That would be actually kinda cool in a horror game, but I would always prefer it to be a indie studio

@tredlocity With the tech being this easy to automate, it's pretty much inevitable. Before long they won't need individual voices to base it off of, they'll be able to create realistic ones on the fly

@tredlocity No, they'll upload celebrities without permission, thus giving EA plausible deniability when a genetic voice suddenly sounds like Nic Cage.

@tredlocity Things I don't want to hear in a game: my own voice

@tredlocity @ArcCollie Joke's on them, I hate the sound of my own voice. Hard pass.

@tredlocity @stealcase I think they’re vastly overestimating how much people enjoy the sound of their own voice in recordings
