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 !

I already did. what Embark is ding is not indentured servitude. saying it is doesn’t change reality, no matter how much you wish otherwise.
make a real one to begin with. you haven’t made an argument worth responding to. you’re claiming something is what it isn’t. that’s not an argument, that’s wishful thinking. you’ve completely failed here.
If you had bothered to read ANYTHING I SAID you’d know that was not my argument.
I made 3 points at the start, all of which you just ignored and said they signed a contract so nothing else matters.
and you’ve decided that since you object to what you think is AI, that what those VAs feel doesn’t matter. you’re strutting around like the typical liberal peacock, telling other people what they should be offended by. you’re not bright enough to see that you’re totally removing their agency from them and stripping them of their right to self determination, something which you accuse Embark of doing. of the two of us, who is the bigger narcissist here? of the two of us, who is the one treating the workers like they’re worth nothing and their opinions don’t matter? me, who says they should have agency in how they work, or you, who you should get to decide how they work?
you’re not a good person. and you’re not a smart person either, with the arguments you’ve been making. you’re a typical capitalist, who thinks you should get the final say over the rights and self determination of people you obviously see as worth less than you. how utterly shameful.
You’re the bigger narcissist here. You’re literally making up statement I did not make to have a point to argue against. You can’t bother to read anything I say (or alternatively you can’t read, doesn’t really matter to me which it is). You act high and mighty every chance you get.
So I’m not going to address anything else because talking to you is pointless. You’re arguing with a wall because I don’t even need to be here. You’re not going to read what I say, you’re going to make up arguments I never made, you argue your own made up arguments to be right and then call me stupid for having your make-belief arguments. You are the wall you’re arguing with.
you’re not even capable of understanding the deeper context of the arguments you’re making. truly shameful. not only are you placing yourself on a pedestal and stripping away the rights and agency of others, you’re not even capable of realizing what you’re doing. you think you’re an ally, when in fact like most liberals you’re just perpetrating the systemic problems with capitalism. you think your opinion is the only valid one, thus reducing everyone else to mere objects for you to decide the proper fate of.
here’s my advice to you. stop telling people what’s in their best interests. they are the only ones who get to decide that, and you don’t have any right to say what is best for another person.
The fact that you think that’s advice to me just shows how little you actually care about my point of view. Get out of here you narcissist.
your point of view is abusive to the people who took this job, so no, I don’t care about it. furthermore, it’s important that I call out people who act like you are, because the way you’re acting is absolutely incompatible with my anarchist lifestyle, where an individuals right to self-determination is sacrosanct. I’m focused on building a society that values the individual, you’re interested in building one where people can only support themselves so long as you approve of their work. that makes you no better than any right-wing religious nutjob, and absolutely an enemy of working class people everywhere.
not all viewpoints are equal, and yours are shockingly bad.
It’s pretty fucking ironic of you to talk about “individuals right to self-determination is sacrosanct” while you zealously disrespect my beliefs and push your own onto me. Who would’ve thunk a narcissist like you is also a hypocrite.
if by “pushing my beliefs” you mean telling you shouldn’t infringe on the rights of others, then sure. add not understanding what irony is to your list of shortcomings. I don’t respect the beliefs of racists or religious nutjobs either. some viewpoints do not deserve respect. if you want to practice those beliefs, do it to yourself and nobody else. don’t demand other people abide by your abusive ideology. because if you do, then you’re gonna get pushback, and it will be well deserved.
self-determination doesn’t mean you get to oppress people because you don’t like their work.
