I just found out that Embark used genAI to replace recalling it’s voice actors. And I am devastated. It was my GOTY and now I’m boycotting it. To the point that I decided to be vocal about it.

I don’t want any AI (not talking about machine learning for the way the Arcs move, I’m talking about the voice actors being replaced) in the work of art that I think are the video games I play.

To game developers: Stop using AI in your video games!

Je viens de découvrir que Embark a utilisé de l’IA générative pour remplacer ses acteurs. Et franchement je suis tellement déçu. C’était clairement mon GOTY, et maintenant je me retrouve à boycotter tout ça, au point de carrément en faire des posts pour toucher le plus de monde possible.

Je ne veux aucune IA (et attention, je ne parle pas du machine learning utilisé pour les déplacements des Arcs) dans les oeuvres d’art que je consomme.

Aux développeurs: Arrêtez d’utiliser de l’IA dans les jeux vidéos !

    Stop trying to reason with this person.

    You can’t reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into.

    There are many legitimate complaints with ai. And when you confront its most fervent detractors with examples of the technology that addresses these complaints they just double down on their hatred of it, which is not an intellectually honest position to take.

    If you have a problem with a model that’s been trained on the work of many artists that haven’t been compensated, then you should be okay with a model that has been trained on data for which an artist has been fairly compensated.

    If you take issue with the huge power usage for training LLMs then you should be okay with a model that has been trained in such a manner that the huge power usage of LLMs does not apply (many voice models are really fucking lightweight).

    Many of the complaints people have are salient, but when someone doubles down when the complaints are addressed it’s abundantly clear that the issue is “I hate this” and not “I hate this because”
