I disagree, I want working actors to get paid. I will always take Maurice LaMarche over an AI Orson Welles. Just get that YouTube Grocery Vader guy like they did for Force Unleashed, he’s great.

  You’re getting downvoted, but the move to fully-voiced dialogue absolutely killed the level of reactivity in games and AI is one of the few ways to bring that level of detail back without bloating budgets even higher than they already are.
  
  Voice acting is expensive and anything players don’t hear is “wasted”, so you rarely see meaningful branching in storylines anymore outside of the biggest budget games. Look at the freaking encyclopedia that was Morrowind dialogue compared to the sound bytes used for conversations in Oblivion and Skyrim.
  
  I’m not a fan of how AI has been handled by corporations, but if they set up a system where voice actors (and other creatives) could be hired to train models, get paid for every project that uses them, and have the right to look at and refuse projects the same as if they’d taken the contract normally, I’d be all for the AI revolution.
  
  There’s a middle ground where generative AI is fair to creative talent and opens up a world of possibilities. It’s unlikely, but hopefully one day we get there.
