“Soulless” promotional activities.
Frankly, humanity is now at a crossroads as to how we will treat AI in the future. In the past, AI existed in very small amounts and could only be used for specific purposes. It has since been expanded through items like Alexa, and is now being used for a variety of purposes, including writing scripts and voicing characters in shows and video games. This justifiable fear has led Hollywood writers to go on strike for a variety of reasons, and many others to speak out against AI being used to “take jobs.” One of those voices is David Hayter, the legendary man behind Solid Snake.
Hater has been a voice actor supporter since he was a voice actor and has been doing so for decades. However, in an interview with Eurogamer, he elaborated on his thoughts on AI users such as narration and why it doesn’t work as intended.
“Those who steal your voice should be permanently imprisoned, but I also see it differently.”
He reveals to them that once he used ChatGPT to script something. He did this “for fun” and had no intention of selling the script. Want to know what happened?
It’s not the first time he’s said such a thing. In the early days of the Hollywood Writers’ Strike, someone used such a program to script a scene in the writers’ room that involved the writers’ strike, but the jokes were so banal that it was painful to read. rice field.
But when it comes to AI taking over voice acting, David Hayter also has a unique take on it. “Technology that copies our voices is amazing. For example, if you google ‘deepfake voice, duplicate of Biden,’ it will show you if he says something funny. But when you listen to it, there is no soul there. It’s clearly just a fabricated version of his voice. “
He is right. People have used his AI voice for fun to make memes of various things, such as the former president talking about video games. It was interesting to watch, but I could tell it wasn’t their real voice.
Hayter believes voice actors should have multiple safeguards against having their voices “stealed” by AI, but he’s less concerned at the moment because machines can’t perfectly reproduce the voices that voice actors give. I don’t feel the need to. role.
