‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Used AI For A Dead Voice Actor’s Performance, With Permission - eviltoast

There are uses of AI that are proving to be more than black and white. While voice actors, have protested their performances being fed into AI against their will, we are now seeing an example of this being done, with permission, in a very unique case.

    Well, that’s where we are going.

    The reaction this is getting is simply going to fuel execs who now see that people are okay with it. And if they are okay with dead actors, they will be okay with live actors in a few years after they are used to that.

    The correct answer to all of this was the same answer we have had for as long as humans have performed, everyone acknowledges that the character won’t continue and the media pays respect in some way for the performance the actor actually gave.

    This resurrects the actor without the permission of the actor just of their family who may or may not have understood what was happening. Which is likely going to be the norm from here on out.

    I don’t want an AI ressurectiin of Lance Riddick in the next Horizon game either. Do you want that?

      This is nothing new. Let’s not forget Wagons East or that Pink Panther movie from the 70s.
