Actor Neil Newbon, who voiced Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3, has shared his thoughts on artificial intelligence in gaming, and he didn’t mince words.
“Fuck AI in performance,” Newbon told PCGamesN.
He’s talking about using artificial voice lines for games, like how Embark’s The Finals and Arc Raiders do. For Arc Raiders, the studio hired human actors to record voice lines and then used AI systems to have their voices say lots of other things. Newbon pointed out that Arc Raiders has been a major commercial success, and he suggested that Embark bring back the actors to “redo the lines.”
