MSN: Microsoft is bringing AI characters to Xbox via partnership with Inworld

So we're on a forum talking about video games and you talk about a guy who has voiced 19 characters in video games in 30yrs and you call that full time?

He voices stuff on tv/movies and is in a band, so thank you for proving my point that he isn't a full time voice artist in the gaming space. Also MS doesn't make movies or tv shows, and that's not even what is being talked about here.

Maybe you should take your own advice and be quiet because you're just making a fool of yourself.

And there has been enough commentary on how the cons outweigh the pros.

An npc spewing out tons of nonsense isn't a good substitute for the lack of writing and voicework. Not to mention it just doesn't sound as good. Like that Skyrim mod with AI generated npc dialogue. They talk a lot more but it's mostly just useless dialogue.

I was using that as an example of why it's bad to rely on it for new content. A.I can still make mistakes and it's not going to care when it does. It's okay for silly games like Minecraft but it would look weird with more realistic settings.

Many of the high budget open world games uses algorithms for populating the world. If and when AI is used for generating content using the models that have garnered a lot attention for high end games, it would not be like what you are referring to in Minecraft. This is not an issue of AI making mistakes. People make mistakes, bad games, bugs etc. You are underestimating the application of AI.

I pretty much disagree with what’s she’s saying. Just providing more evidence of the noise being made by some of the bigger industry folks.

How so?

With AI affecting like 90% of jobs and with more humans out of work, expect everything to go down in quality. There is a reason I brought up two certain sci-fi films in the OP as THAT was the theme. I even remember a SpongeBob episode where Mr. Krabs sells the Krusty Krab and a machine makes the Krabby Patties with disgusting results.

Well, she will change her tune when her employer (Sony) start to announce the same thing.

Also, her employer has cut plenty of jobs themselves this year while raking in billions, raised prices on everything, did she make a tweet about those?

It's funny, because i'm an Aussie you would think I would like Aussie Youtubers, but her and the shill up guy are some of the worst.

@last_lap: you said name anyone who made VOICE ACTING a full time job not video game only voice acting you dolt.

Fucking serious?

John Demagio, wow once again so hard. And Yes Billy west is a full time voice actor. Im not arguing over your quick google search finding out he is in some band that no one knows about.

can you actually try? This is pathetic

@nintendoboy16: It would be terrible if AI took 90% of jobs. The quality would suck indeed. But using AI for routine NPC dialogue, I don't see an issue with that. Most NPCs in a typical RPG or open world game are not important characters and behave like bots anyway. It wouldn't make much difference if these random NPCs were AI generated. That would allow the dev team to pool their time and resources into things that actually matter, instead of wasting time on random useless NPCs.

We're in a thread about MS bringing in AI to video games, last I checked MS don't make movies or tv shows, we're talking about video games here, and if you need me to spell out video games, then that's a you problem.

The first person you mentioned had 19 game voice acting jobs in 23yrs, the second guy (who's name you spelt wrong) has like 56 credits to his name in 26yrs and has movie and tv credits also, so again you can't name one that uses video game voice acting as a full-time gig.

So, getting angry over this is kinda funny, but I can see why you do as you're not mature enough to take this information in and process it before you post, hence of your childish insults.
