LLMs aren't great and can't be relied upon in business setting or at least I would not.
But think open world games. GTA VII for example where all NPCs have their dialogs auto generated in real time but also converted to audio in real time.
That's going to be a world which would be a lot more spontaneous with lot less effort.
Right now, If memory serves me right, GTA V dialogs alone are 5000 pages or more, hand written.
- anigbrowl 3y agoThat's all true, but I think it's a pity that the jobs that currently exist for voice artists will disappear. Gamers and consumers will have somewhat better interactive experiences, which is good. Indie game developers will also be able to put out games with lower budgets, which is nice for them. But the market for voice acting work is largely going to dry up and blow away for people who are not already at the top of that field. People who could previously have made a modest but sufficient living as voice performers will be replaced by computer-generated voices. It will be almost impossible to make a living in that field within 5 years.
- wg0 3y agoGenerative models around images are nothing new and have been around for a while already. But even today, if you really want creative control and expression, you need a designer that's good with Photoshop or Illustrator etc. This is applicable to LLMs as well. You can get it to write plausible BS but if you really want a rooted in reality, well articulated write up about something, a human has to be taken onboard. This equally extends to voice over. If you really want expressive and creative control to put some outstanding rendering of something, AI isn't going to cut it.
- anigbrowl 3y agoThis is only true if you assume AI isn't going to keep improving. It gets significantly better on a quarterly basis, far faster than the time it takes for an actor to develop their craft and career. The output quality of todays' cutting edge models would have been science fiction only 2-3 years ago.
- wg0 3y agoI'm not so sure about the future. Such models, all the models don't have a well understood input output mapping and that's going to be a problem for a very long time.
