Good info, and fair enough for people to support the strike, if they want to.
FWIW, my view is that the use of AI-generated figures, voices etc. in video games is inevitable. As a gamer, I genuinely don't care who is behind a particular voice. I cannot imagine that many gamers do. All the strike is going to do, is hasten the shift to AI.
- Nullabillity 2y agoThis kind of defeatism is the only thing that could make it "inevitable" in the first place.
- whatshisface 2y agoUnless you're excited to live in a world where creative personality and art history has been replaced by public or private utilities, the (maybe not) inevitable deserves at least a little resistance.
- phito 2y agoA lot of the mainstream "creative" media has been just that for a while now. It did not need AI to lose its soul.
- whatshisface 2y agoThe cost of acting as a percentage of budget or revenue is highest for indie studios because it's done at fixed union rates without the variability in the number of hours that can be spent on it you get for art and polish coding. It is likely to take over the stuff we actually like first, because, among other things, small studios are more willing to take risks and accept quality compromises in new technology acquisition.
- delusional 2y agoA lot of the non-mainstream stuff only exists because the creatives in the mainstream take the capital they earn there and shovel it into niche stuff. Excluding artists from the mainstream wont just hurt the mainstream. It will starve the niche too.
