New Naruto fighting game receives backlash for questionable redub, raising eyebrows over potential AI voiceover: "I can guarantee I did not say that line that way"

That’s not what happened though, they didn’t take the lines, cut them up in audacity and move them around, they took all the voice samples, put it through an ai generator and generated that actors voice pulling lines in their voice that they never recorded. Not only is this in really poor taste, essentially stealing an actors voice during a really temultious time in AI development, they never asked for consent, or even told anyone that their voice would be fed into an ai model so that they could essentially get free voice overs forever without paying the actors again

What actors play these characters onscreen?

That's what this technology will change. If you picture 'insert script, receive audio,' then yeah, it'll suck. But if you see it as a tool - it's going to let artists create a performance, without a performer. It's an instrument they can guide and tweak and endlessly fiddle with.

Or more directly, it'll let someone say a line like they want it to sound, and then transfer that to someone else's voice. And it doesn't need to be someone real.
