Zombies? What?And we can stop with the "same voice actors" script that seems to be in this thread.
Y'all are like parrots or zombies.

What really got me good about this was the random Casual Geographic tangent about giraffes towards the beginning. AI is fun. And used in the right applications can be very useful.

I could use some of this Ai to replace the digitised Gerbil Jiberish speech.

Yeah, this is cool technology, but it will cause a scale back in voice over work. I can very feasibly see a situation where they just credit maybe five people for ALL the incidental work, because they'll be the "input," people and tasked with reading fucking tomes of side quest dialogue, while the leading roles will still be taken by well known names.
Basically, people will still have jobs, as long as they're Nolan North, Troy Baker and Laura Bailey.

I think this has its uses on many levels.
Someone told me that voice acting has become artificially super expensive - especially in America- thanks to actors unions demanding top dollar and things like min amount of hours regardless of what’s needed.
Not sure how true that is. But this would be a viable way of reducing the dev cost of a game.
They might not be able to replace top quality voice actors. But certainly mid level ones. And it feels like they are the ones who will be most hit by this

Reverse groomer.
Let the robots take over, I want faster made games. Bring back the days of 2/3 year dev cycles.
Just as long as the entire game isn't made by ai, I'll buy up
