Okay but imagine an RPG like Skyrim that instead of just selecting choices you actually talked to the NPCs and they spoke back to you? Because that’s where this is headed and it sounds fucking awesome.

That's fine, they actor just needs to be compensated for it. Right now they're trying to argue that you have them your voice, tough titties get out they'll use it how they want. I think there should be a completely separate payment system if they want to train on their voice too.

The thing is why would it ultimately need to clone an actual person rather than use a prompt to describe the type of voice followed by iterating until you like a fully synthetic voice at which point there is nobody to pay

Why? Because people who work in the industry want to keep getting paid to play pretend.

Skyrims already been modded to do that with Mantella.

Then the "organic" marketing program therein is working precisely as planned, citizen.

edit: Up/Downboat doesn't matter — other than you in doing so, consider the ineffable truth of the statement above, even for a moment.

The phrasing of the title alone is enough of a whiff of marketing polish that the rest of the "article" carries that stink, and mentally handwaving its intent is naive, doing no one but them any favors.

God forbid people enjoy things in life.

Neither are mutually exclusive, my melodramatic friend.
