unsurprisingly, these lines sound like total shit.
ow, my robit balls
Really? I find them totally fine. Pretty impressive really when you take scope and responsiveness into account.
Nope. Wont be playing now.
Was gonna play this, now I will not be. Pay fucking humans
Seems pretty neat I guess, but not for me… personally prefer to support actual voice actors making a living, putting passion into their work - not some random C suite or shareholder using AI to cut costs
The female voice didn’t sound so bad next to the train wreck of the main announcer.
the voices all sound so soulless, what were the devs thinking?

There is a difference between synthesized voices and AI-generated ones. Those old ones were synthesized.
The speech in Impossible Mission was sampled from a human actor not synthesized.
Hmm, they aren’t clear whether it’s fully voice-acted or whether he provided phonetic sounds for them to synthesize according to the text, but in either case, it’s not AI whatsoever.
Important to note that ESS Technologies (the company cited there) was literally a company who made synthesized speech for video games.
Electronic Speech Systems produced synthetic speech for, among other things, home computer systems like the Commodore 64. Within the hardware limitations of that time, ESS used Mozer’s technology, in software, to produce realistic-sounding voices that often became the boilerplate for the respective games.
Stay awhile… Stay forever!!!

This is the kind of shit I think of when people tell me AI is taking people’s jobs.
That’s a damn bummer. Game plays great, and with the microtransactions they’re gonna make bank. I’m curious where the decision came from to do this, rather than hiring voice talent.
