Ubisoft insists yet again that its uncanny AI-generated 'NEO-NPCs' will make games 'more alive and richer', whatever that means (www.pcgamer.com)

I don't think it's such a hot take to say that this AI stuff would work best when only used on the random background NPCs that offer no services and have nothing to do with any quest or story. It definitely would feel more alive if all those random people walking down the street and driving cars were not super predictable robots that basically had only two states.

Depends who you ask. Personally, I think AI is fine if used ethically, and I think that's an ethical case - as long as the voice actor is compensated for their voice.

But AI can do voices, too...

Not from scratch - just like with other AI models they are created by mixing together a bunch of existing voices.
