I just found out that Embark used genAI to replace recalling it’s voice actors. And I am devastated. It was my GOTY and now I’m boycotting it. To the point that I decided to be vocal about it.
I don’t want any AI (not talking about machine learning for the way the Arcs move, I’m talking about the voice actors being replaced) in the work of art that I think are the video games I play.
To game developers: Stop using AI in your video games!
Je viens de découvrir que Embark a utilisé de l’IA générative pour remplacer ses acteurs. Et franchement je suis tellement déçu. C’était clairement mon GOTY, et maintenant je me retrouve à boycotter tout ça, au point de carrément en faire des posts pour toucher le plus de monde possible.
Je ne veux aucune IA (et attention, je ne parle pas du machine learning utilisé pour les déplacements des Arcs) dans les oeuvres d’art que je consomme.
Aux développeurs: Arrêtez d’utiliser de l’IA dans les jeux vidéos !
It’s not indentured servitude, and that’s a weak ass argument trying to spin it like that. Nobody with the brains evolution gave a snail is falling for that shit. And you should be embarrassed that that’s the best argument you can come up with.
It’s such a blatantly, self-evidently wrong argument, that I’m not even going to dignify it with a counter argument because frankly, such grade-school bullshit like that is beneath both of us.
Since you decided to ignore my argument all I can do is attack your stupid argument, which is that the signed contract is all that matters. I’m attacking it by stating you don’t have a problem with indentured servitude as long the servant accepts the contract. That is not the same thing as stating VA work is somehow indentured servitude, please be capable of telling the difference here. If the agreement is all that matters then you have to be okay with indentured servitude in the manner I originally described.
Once again, not indentured servitude. I’m not reading the rest of your comment because I doubt it’s more intelligent than the rest. Words have meanings, and you don’t get to just insist something and it be true. Your comments are MAGA level delusions, and I’m not interested in arguing them because you’re a zealot who has come to this thread with the certainty that you cannot be wrong. There’s no point in arguing with someone who can’t accept that reality doesn’t bend to their self-righteous whims.
The irony of calling someone a zealot who can’t be wrong, and then straight up ignoring all criticism of your argument. You are right, there is no point in arguing with someone like you.
You haven’t provided any valid criticism of my argument. You might think what you’ve said is smart, but it is not and you should be embarrassed for even having tried such a ridiculous argument.
If a someone says the sky is purple, you don’t argue with them because it makes you look like an idiot. Everyone knows they are wrong, because the reality is so self evident that any engagement with that argument lends it credibility. I won’t give credibility to your ridiculous notions.
Pretty zealous of you to dictate what is or isn’t a valid argument. If my argument is so wrong why not instantly debunk it instead of playing this stupid ring around the Rosie?
We can play the same game if you want. Your argument that they signed the contract is not a valid argument because I think it’s utterly stupid and I shouldn’t be addressing it in the first place. Come back with a real argument.
I already did. what Embark is ding is not indentured servitude. saying it is doesn’t change reality, no matter how much you wish otherwise.
make a real one to begin with. you haven’t made an argument worth responding to. you’re claiming something is what it isn’t. that’s not an argument, that’s wishful thinking. you’ve completely failed here.
If you had bothered to read ANYTHING I SAID you’d know that was not my argument.
I made 3 points at the start, all of which you just ignored and said they signed a contract so nothing else matters.
and you’ve decided that since you object to what you think is AI, that what those VAs feel doesn’t matter. you’re strutting around like the typical liberal peacock, telling other people what they should be offended by. you’re not bright enough to see that you’re totally removing their agency from them and stripping them of their right to self determination, something which you accuse Embark of doing. of the two of us, who is the bigger narcissist here? of the two of us, who is the one treating the workers like they’re worth nothing and their opinions don’t matter? me, who says they should have agency in how they work, or you, who you should get to decide how they work?
you’re not a good person. and you’re not a smart person either, with the arguments you’ve been making. you’re a typical capitalist, who thinks you should get the final say over the rights and self determination of people you obviously see as worth less than you. how utterly shameful.
