I am not sure I understand the negative criticism?
The joke is that this is the one place where an AI voice makes perfect sense because the character is an artificial intelligence.
The "joke" is the "cultural appropriation" bit, which is either...
A) A shitty joke making fun of cultural appropriation as a thing to get mad about, or...
B) An attempt to sound "politically correct" by someone who has no fucking clue what "culturual appropriation" means (hint: you have to have a culture for it to be appropriated).
Both make them look like assholes.
I dunno, I feel like "cultural appropriation" itself has been appropriated by people who are more against multiculturalism and mingling of ideas from many cultures than concerned about the culture losing anything. It's kinda like "woke" at this point where it doesn't really have a clear meaning but changes depending on who is using it.
Though I also reject the idea that any person or people can "own" or monopolize ideas and styles and that there's anything wrong about others adopting them from outside their culture of origin, though they should be honest about it, like that the wood carvings they are trying to sell were mass produced in China and weren't made by natives who wouldn't back the claims about how it can improve your life even if they had made it. Also, it's different if a style is adopted just for the sake of mockery and hatred.
Though based on the follow up messages in the OP, it looks like they are either really committed to the bit or are being serious, which is ridiculous.
Oh look someone screeching over minor inconsequential shit.
Progressives can’t take a swing going in their direction.
In-game AI character Ms. Second is using AI generated voice. Using humans voices for AI character would be cultural appropriation.
I feel liket they're trying to be funny, but when you're actually hurting artists the joke doesn't land. Also, the joke feels rather... right wing.
What's crazy is the replies in the updates... Like, they are trying to spin it that they weren't making a joke, they are 100% serious about not wanting to offend the clankers because "AGI Is right around the corner".
The joke is stupid, but using AI voice for AI character really just makes sense
Perhaps the only time that it really does make sense. But the joke is dumb and charged enough that I won't be playing.
Especially if you use a cheap model that sounds clearly AI…
Dumb joke, but I can’t get rabid anti-AI about this usage…
Angry language-policing? I don't follow, sorry. Are you talking about me saying the joke felt "right-wing"?
Not you, necessarily, but the fact that this is even an issue. This whole thing is just language policing. I get it, I think it's insensitive, but I also think you have to pick your battles and jumping down people's throats like this just makes them enemies. There's plenty of people who are consciously and actively trying to make the world a worse place and not just making casual jokes without challenging their underlying assumptions.
You say while literally language policing…
Good lord, this is too tedious to explain.
Obviously absurd hypocrisy requires no explanation
Although I do feel a little bit let down that I’m not gonna get another ridiculous song and dance from you
:’(
Oh, do we have a history?
Jumping from hypocrisy right to wishful thinking… How adventurous of you
Well, this was a pretty minimal effort for me as far singing & dancing goes, so I thought you'd seen one of my more command performances to be as disappointed as you are.
minimal effort
That about sums it up, honey. Why you thought you deserved more, well… You seem to have enough of an imagination, so I will let you fill in the blanks. After all, you’ve been shooting enough of them to keep us all entertained… 💋
This is a hate sub. You guys are so mad at me for propsing you moderate your hate that you're switching to hating me. Pretty pathetic example of human behavior.
I was so busy laughing at you, I hardly noticed how “mad” I was, lol
Ok, glad you're having a good time.
Is throwing a tantrum when no one buys your hypocritical bullshit how you define a “good time“?
Were you having too much of a “good time” on Reddit that you had to flee here to have more of a “good time“?
It's interesting how far someone will go to discipline me for suggesting they not hate.
This is what you believe discipline is?
Wow. That explains a lot. lol
Still not sure how everyone laughing at you constitutes “hate“
Your ignorance continues. Laughing at someone is often a hateful act, especially when done as a group. Someone just suggested I leave this group for what I said.
There’s that “wishful thinking” I mentioned earlier, lol
Huh. Interesting. Maybe English isn´t your first language, but laughing AT someone is generally considered rude and an open sign of disrespect, so that's why I interpret it as hostile. Maybe a cultural difference.
Right, because laughing at you is just an English thing…
Écoutez cet imbécile ridicule 😂
Oh, so it is hostile, but not hate? Because I kind of feel like you don´t like on me on some fundamental level, but you've said its not hate, so I find it very confusing.
And also imbécile made it into English, so you might prefer harder-to-translate personal insults. I just started watching Lastman, so I expect I'll be picking up a few.
So I did get the song and dance after all.
ツ
Et pourtant, il pleure toujours
I do hate to be a disappointment. Hope you have a great day. Hopefully one day we can shit on Trump together or something.
If you hated being a disappointment, you never would’ve come here
But if I lack self-awareness, it would explain it, right?
Lol, you’re so goddamn close to getting it…
So I propose that by attacking this guy that we are: a) creating enemies unecessarily b) making communication with corporations stiffer c) probably wasting our efforts.
And in return, you engage with me ceaselessly over several hours while denying any feeling of hate, accusing me of lacking self-awareness and not understanding logic.
Is that a fair summary?
What a rich fantasy life you have. Such a shame you use it to deflect the consequences of your actions rather than for introspection or self improvement.
At least it’s entertaining!
I'll see you on TenForward. Kinda surprised how nasty someone who can cry over Lal can be. People contain multitudes.
For someone who was so upset about this:
And now you're going through the thread to find other comments you can respond to with insults.
Now you’re stalking me in other Lemmy communities?
Obviously, you failed to realize that it was your blatant hypocrisy that got you into this mess in the first place 😂😂😂
Oh, and they won’t put up with your bullshit there, either, lol
I'm not stalking you, just wondering who I'm talking to, especially if you're like this with everyone you talk to. Lemmy's a small community, and I thought your name was familiar and I spend quite a bit of time in Ten Forward, so I was glad to see you there.
I just wonder what I did that tripped me from being a human being to someone you need to ruthlessly attempt to destroy. It's a little odd. But it turns out we had a very pleasant exchange on the subject of human suffering there in the post I mentioned, and you here seem hellbent on perpetuating suffering upon me. It's kind of weird and sad. Anyway, I look forward to engaging with you in a different meter in the future. I hope you have a good rest of your day.
Back to that “wishful thinking” again, I see, lol.
And I was “destroying” you, was I? Quite the compliment! 😂
Hopefully Amnesty International can see fit to take time out of their busy schedule attending to those in Gaza and Lebanon to attend to your “suffering“ LMAO
As an outsider looking in who actually read the whole chain the same way I would a trainwreck...
The abyss you stared into is genuinely starting to stare out of your eyes, holy fuck.
Those downvote arrows raining on that other poor bastard stopped making sense over 10 replies back, and they're gonna drag you right to hell with them.
Did you even notice when your wit turned from an irony exposing mirror and into a dagger?
Edit: I see you are all on a hate train and here is no different than reddit. Get in the way of the hate train and get plastered.
You must be plastered if you thought you could flee Reddit and come here and get away with trying to sling this kind of bullshit without being called out on it
If you keep smelling shit everywhere you go, check your shoes
Downvoted for your moronic edit. lmao
Take the hint: go back to Reddit.
You're right, it is terrible here, you should probably go somewhere else.
Well, aren´t you a profile in courage.
You fled Reddit because they wouldn’t buy your bullshit, then came here to find out that we wouldn’t either. And now you’re throwing a tantrum about it.
What would you know about courage?
And now you're going through the thread to find other comments you can respond to with insults. Amazing. If your hate boner lasts much longer, I'd consider seeing a doctor.
If you had enough self-awareness to see a doctor, you wouldn’t be here in the first place.
Sorry, I don't see the connection?
Case in point
I just saw the doctor last week, so I do have the self awareness to see a doctor.
I'm afraid you're not making a lot of sense.
It surprises nobody that you fail to understand what I’m saying.
lol
And it's no surprise to me that the hate train continues to upvote violations of logic. It really is something to see.
If you could see logic, you wouldn’t be here in the first place
1 + 1 = 2
Edit: Yeah, got downvoted for that lol
Uh-oh, I think I broke it, lol. The troll bot has reverted to basic arithmetic!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
nice of them to announce that the devs are fucking asshole right wing clowns up front.
"In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That's all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place."
Ah yes, of course! AI characters must be voiced by AI, or you'll hurt ChatGPT's feelings. You don't want to make ChatGPT cry!
with AGI almost here.
Sure, it will arrive almost at the same time their dad will, with the milk.
I feel like these people insult humanity every time they figuratively 'open their mouths.'
Also, I want to say "AGI is nowhere near" but then I realized that we really do already have software as vapid as these people are. I guess, to be fair, that looks like proper, true intelligence from the perspective of someone who has none of their own. :-\
Some Roko's Basilisk nonsense. I wish I could take it as a joke but truly there's no guarantee anymore
I guess they wanted people to know they were chuds by telling the one chud joke: "Are you triggered yet, wokies? Tee-hee, we're so naughty! 🤭"
I'm not quite sure what the fuss is about with this one - I thought it was quite a clever joke, and I don't really think there's anything distasteful about it. Still, the game is of no interest to me whatsoever.
"In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That's all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place."
Oh come on. That's funny. Why does this author have a stick up their butt about this absolutely nothing burger? I'm actually somewhat irritated that you wasted my time with this complete non-story. At least I know about a new game, but seriously we don't need to have a post about every single thing that's posted on a gaming website, because a lot of it is just filler, like this.
Lmao the pearl clutching is absolutely sending me. Not only is their comment hilarious, the reaction in this thread is gold, too. Never change, Lemmy weirdos.
I don't see where's the problem here. It's the only specific case where a TTS gives better results than a voice actor
I didn't see any outrage for the use of a TTS for glados in portal games
Because Glados wasn't TTS. She was voiced by Ellen McLain.
“In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That’s all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place.”
Not only is their joke lame and distasteful the studio is also revealing they have no idea what they are talking about. No, AGI is not almost here. This is a bigger joke than their stupid post.
So they used AI voice with the excuse that the character is an AI? Barely interesting.
Using humans voices for AI character would be cultural appropriation.
The fuck?
In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI.
What?
This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here.
Goodbye.
Kinda get the feeling they used genai for more than that with the awful joke and statement about AGI being close to reality.
