Fyi, the article says the AI voices are placeholders.
Essential knowledge, thank you.
I was just responding to the fact that OP simply appended “[AI voices]” as if they were trying to lead people to believe that the AI voices were final.
I don’t think they were being sarcastic. What you provided was genuinely important context. It changed my perspective of the headline and OP’s ammendment. I would also consider it essential knowledge. Thanks
I wasn’t sure which was why I clarified heh…

title edited with the “placeholder” word, hope gets more clarity now.
Yes, the beyond Skyrim ppl want to replace them, but still:
This is one area where AI will lead to many cool things. Yes, AI voices don’t sound as cool as real ones but modders usually work for free and can’t afford good voice acting, so they’ll either do it themselves with shoddy quality and questionable acting that sometimes even makes the product worse, or avoid it at all costs (ever questioned why so many mods used letters and notes as story devices compared to main games? That’s why).
AI voices can be a middle ground for exactly that purpose.
It’s also worth remember that “AI voices” don’t always mean tts. RVC is also rising technology: you just need a single modder with decent skills in voice acting, and he/she can make act the whole cast of characters (man/woman, young/adult etc.)
I wish all mods used Microsoft Sam as the characters’ default voice. All characters.
Pretty easy to do when you don’t have to pay for the voices.
Doing mods with that many lines is not easy even without payment. Those are hobbyists mind you.
