The new Darth Vader AI in Fortnite uses James Earl Jones’ voice, recreated with AI.

His family says: “James felt that the voice of Darth Vader was inseparable from the story of Star Wars & he always wanted fans of all ages to continue to experience it.”

Yep

Please stop replying about how he signed a contract in 2022 or his family cleared it or whatever. I don't fucking care about whether or not the paperwork was in order. I care about the fact that one of the biggest videogames on earth took a dead man's voice and is puppeting it. Fuck off. Shut up.

It never occurs to these defenders that the family members are being selfishly greedy, and just saw their famous relative as a bottomless wallet.

Whatever contract he signed, I'm positive it doesn't cover the foul shit this AI voice is apparently spewing out for some reason (ie death threats and slurs)

What's the end limit here. The voices of our dead parents calling us to remind us to buy flowers for the anniversary of their death. Dead historical figures brought back to unlife but trained on the propagandized accounts history's winners have written. What depths of depravity will we plumb

The BBC are already selling a writing course hosted by "Agatha Christie".

I'm getting my prediction on record that the first RNC after Trump's death (almost certainly of natural causes well over the age of 100) will be "hosted" by an generated AI model of him, to rapturous applause.

They already sort of did this with that whole court case where the family used their loved one who was shot to forgive the person who shot him.

It's creepy and ghoulish. Leave the dead alone. Let them live on through our actions and stories, not fucking this

the only life-after-death tech i've found remotely acceptable so far are gravestone qr codes which take you to a site about the person, their life story etc (all added by the family). everything else is a ghoul show

Joe AIden in the Smithsonian explaining in great detail how he schemed to steal the 2020 election and oppress the Patriots who tried to stop him on January 6th (now memorialized as Patriots' Day, a federal holiday)

My one hope is when Jone's family signed off on this, they did it with the assumption it was going to be wholesome and as soon as they see the vile shit the voice is saying they'll cease and desist with a power of a freight train.
still doesn't excuse the fact they allowed it in the first place.

It's vile/immoral/gross, for sure. I'm getting very tired of the corporate dystopian hellscsape we're all stuck in!

I'm literally undead and this is fucking disgusting.

I don’t understand the VA from Jedi fallen order was already a great voice why the fu k

Fortnite has a bit over 2,000 skins total and I always wondered if one day they might introduce VO for them somehow, even as MTX or something, just to give each of them a few lines and some efforts... So much of their stuff feels like it's AVOIDING any VO, weirdly empty, even the Family Guy thing...

getgianni.com•3 days ago

... Couldn't need more than an hour per skin and I know most VAs could cover several skins within a few hours, but even at 1 hour per skin that's well under 1mil (Non-Union rate but maybe they do union, + many costs beyond actor) sure, expensive but honestly WELL within budget for The Money Game....

getgianni.com•3 days ago

... I know there's way more to it than that and even valid creative (AND licensing) reasons to NOT do VO, but I have wondered for a while if maybe they were holding out until they felt comfortable enough with AI VO to make it cheaper. So I guess this may be a clue that it's not going how I hoped.

Ngl I wouldn't be surprised if fortnite becomes THE genAI game. GenAI voices saying genAI dialogue for its multitudes and multitudes of characters. Because what the fuck are you gonna do, peasant, go after fucking fortnite?

As slop piles higher I find myself just digging further into indie and retro games. Hell slop aside, industry is pricing me out anyway. I'm good on paying $100CAD, I'll just give weed money to a guy around the block and get 8 legendary titles they keep trying to to recapture the magic from anyway.

radarstars.bsky.social•3 days ago

yeah, me too. I recently played Sin & Punishment: Star Successor on Wii, and it's quickly become my favorite game on the console

voicesbyzane.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'll play total war, timberborn, and drg on rotation until I die like that dude from the twilight zone who survives a bomb in the bank vault I don't give a fuck. If AI is the future and I'm gonna be left behind fine by me. Leave my ass.

minecreeperlps.bsky.social•3 days ago

If it wasn't for indie like 90% of your followers wouldn't even know who you are. The people love indie titles and we love amazing voice talent like yours. Machines could never do Gabriel the way you do. There is just too much passion put into it.

It kinda already is THE GenAI game. They allow a bunch of GenAI content on user made islands from GenAI objects you interact with to GenAI thumbnails. Epic not only allows, but seemingly encourages it.

Save The World
