It'd be like smelling Lynx Africa and weed through your headset. Hard pass for me.

My initial reaction is of course "no thank you" but I can imagine various situations where playing with your online regular squad, but sometimes offline, would be kinda cool.

Not sure I actually can imagine it being something I actually want, but it's not impossible, I suppose.

More bad news for voice actors though, I suppose.

The majority of the industry must be on borrowed time.

I want to use my own voice when playing a nonbinary female

Sucks they can patent this.

With ai voice recognition and responses this will probably be ubiquitous in the near future. Maybe not though maybe just in EA games now.

 

[Pejo]

Surely nothing could go wrong with this.

 

[Zathalus]

With some AI this could actually be pretty good for some single player RPGs. Or with enough audio samples, anybody you want. Playing the next Mass Effect with your character being voiced by Sean Connery would be pretty cool. But I can imagine the sheer amount of legal issues that might cause.

Eh, you're going to be hearing AI voices a lot in the future - you won't be able to trust anything from unverified sources. Might as well get in early on Fifa and Madden.

That's an interesting point, I imagine EA will ask people to agree that the voice they're providing is their own and not a set of clips called from half a dozen Bond films, The Rock and The Untouchables.

I would be certain that if EA ask for the same sample phrases that there'll definitely be people making YouTube videos with those sample phrases all set and ready for you to point your headset mic at.

I don't see how they it could be stopped it if users themselves are doing it.

It'd be interesting to see who the most faked voices would be. And how many of them are dead movie stars, and how many are YouTubers nobody on here has ever heard of.

When AI does everything and no one has a job who are these giant companies selling their products to?

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

I mean you can already do that if you just put voice volume to zero and read the subtitles out loud yourself.

To the AIs, of course.
Do you think they won't have a bank account?

And don't worry I don't think of ya of southern fairy's

 

[StueyDuck]

I can see how in theory it could be cool making your character sound like you in say a Mass effect game.

That being said...

Fuck giving any sort of AI/ML program/synthesizer my voice and have it just sitting on some server somewhere where it can totally be abused

 

[Danjin44]

ummm I can’t even imagine I would ever want something like this!

Well, this one seems like just another shitty process patent which most likely will not see the light of day.

But the good thing about shitty method/system/process patent is that you can usually circumvent them by changing just one or more steps.

As usual there's nothing news-worthy here.

 

[John Bilbo]

Is EA one of the developers that bans users for offensive language?

Bans incoming.

 

[Nankatsu]

Wait until they ask you to subscribe to EA Access first.

I haven't smelt Lynx Africa on a human since the early 90's

Those northern Bastids! I wonder if they've discovered Joop yet

Sure, I would love to give EA proprietary access to my voice for free. 99% sure the applicable T+Cs would allow them to use it for other purposes.

 

[Robb]

Thanks but no thanks, EA.

 

[ReBurn]
