I'm not sure if the tech is under developed or whether we just hit a local maximum, but in the 80's I would have thought that we'd be free of the need for voice actors before we got CG actors. During the 90's the exact opposite happened, we got fully CG movies but still needed humans for the vocals.
It's also amusing that we discovered it wasn't a compelling means of user interaction 20-30 years before siri.
- Someone 9y ago…when you’re sitting next to a keyboard, quality is on the “I’m surprised it works at all” level, and when speech recognizers do not really exist (it was at least a decade later that we had ones that had to be trained for hundreds of hours for each speaker, and still were bad when there was background noise) Nowadays, I think speech interaction has its place. If we get butler-level AI (where the machine knows what you want without you even telling it what you think you want), it will get away again, but that’s a big if.
- gugagore 9y agoThat is interesting. As far as I know, all human-realistic CG actors are controlled by human actors, though. Kind of how an artist can take human voices and morph them into other voices for characters.
