Henry Schrader:So, to anyone who doesn’t know, Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it. More info in the thread. Please share to other VAs.
This is what happens when everything on the planet is run by suits who are incapable of seeing anything but the bottom line. Exploit the creatives until they can be replaced by shitty robots that don’t do the job half as well but are cheaper to use.
Our dumb cyberpunk future is now.
This is exactly what all the AI-evangelists gloss over. It’s not about preserving the horse and carriage post-cars, it’s about our inability to vote with our dollar to avoid the inevitable rise of cheaply made media, products, services, etc. that lack any and all human element. This is about the predatory nature of having a society that prioritizes “the bottom line” over all other considerations. AI/LLM’s are a terrible thing to introduce to our world without some considerations and guardrails.
