Nyligen avslöjades det att Sony experimenterar med en AI-version av Aloy från Horizon Forbidden West, som intressant nog inte har Ashley Burchs ikoniska röst, och utvecklarna bakom Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone AI har AI-uppläsning i vissa sekvenser.
Men trots att gränserna för hur stor roll AI ska ha ständigt flyttas fram, anser Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), det största fackförbundet för röstskådespelare och motion capture inom spelindustrin, att de är långt ifrån kunna få ett avtal som faktiskt skyddar dessa skådespelare från AI-användning.
Just nu är medlemmarna fortfarande i strejk och Duncan Crabtree-Ireland från SAG-AFTRA har följande att säga om spelutgivarnas beteende under denna tid:
"With their previously signed projects dragging their way through the production pipeline, employers are feeling the squeeze from the strike, as SAG-AFTRA members who work in video games continue to stand together and refuse to work without adequate protections. This is causing employers to seek other performers they can exploit to fill those roles, including those who don't typically perform in games. If you're approached for such a role, we urge you to seriously consider the consequences. Not only would you be undermining the efforts of your fellow members, but you would be putting yourself at risk by working without protections against A.I. misuse. And "A.I. misuse" is just a nice way of saying that these companies want to use your performance to replace you — without consent or compensation."
Huruvida det kommer bli ett avtal är okänt, men en representant för de stora spelutgivarna, Audrey Cooling, har sagt detta som svar:
"We have proposed a deal that includes wage increases of over 15% for SAG-AFTRA represented performers in video games, as well as enhanced health and safety protections, industry-leading terms of use for AI digital replicas in-game and additional compensation for the use of an actor's performance in other games. We have made meaningful progress and are eager to return to the bargaining table to reach a deal."
Duger det lika bra med AI-röster, eller vill du ha riktiga skådespelare?
