They’re not great
While Rishi Sunak bundles nerds into Bletchley Park, we at the Electronic Wireless Showpodcastare investigating the real danger of AI:somewhat rubbish text-to-speech voicelinesmakingThe Finalsless fun. We discuss the arrival of AI voices in big-name games, the disappointingly businessy thinking behind it, and whether we can think up some uses for AI-generated material that we can actually get behind. All sparked byvoice actor Gianni Matragrano’s video compilationof the lines in question, which you should probably watch before listening to this episode, or there’ll be a bit where Nate appears to bellow “THE KING FISH” for no reason. Well, maybe notnoreason. It’s still Nate.
Plus! We talk about what we’ve been playing this week, which coincidentally for me was The Finals, while Nate’s been digging deeper into theDeep Rock Galactic: Survivordemo. I also recount theteeth-based controversy surrounding Cities: Skyline 2, in turn begging the question: what are they going to do with all those teeth?
