Erica Lindbeck, the voice actor behind Futaba Sakura in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Persona 5, has deleted their Twitter accounꦡt following a public argument over AI-generated voices.
Erica Linbeck’s voice work can be heard in dozens of anime series and video games, including Hi-Fi Rush, Tell Me Why, and more, but she’s most recognised for her role as Persona 5’s resident hacker Futaba, also known as Oracle. Things went south earlier this week when a video s🃏urfaced online which had the AI-generated voice of Futaba “singing” a Bo Burnham song called Welcome To The Internet. Of course, the video’s AI-generated Futaba likely used and manipulated dialogue that Lindbeck had recorded for the Persona games.
Lindbeck had publicly asked for the video to be removed, and the original post was deleted from YouTube. However, plenty of channels have since reposted the AI cover and many more Twitter users pushed back on Lindbeck’s original requ🌼est with criticism, leading to her removing the account entirely.
AI-generated art isn’t a new controversy, but the recent argument reignited the debate as prominent voice actors and game developers weighed in with their own opinions, both in support of Lindb🎃eck and against the use of AI-generated voices.
Writer and narrative designer Anna Webster “Voice actors are additional collaborators on a project, not a weird sock puppet to say what you want!” She continued to say that “stealing someone’s voice” is both “unethical” and “just plain weird.” We𒁏bster also mentions the idea of character ownership: “The moment one of my characters gets recorded, I no longer see them as ‘mine’... voice actors bring their own expertise and creative vision to the character.”
Spectacular Spider-Man actor Josh Keaton also to say: &ldqu♛o;Erica is a wonderful person and doesn’t deserve any of this.” Replying to one of the comments, Keaton continued to say “There are no two sides about it when it comes to theft,” while discussing those who use AI programs to (re)generate voices.
Many other fans and actors came out in agreement with K🍃eaton’s comments. Sꦚpider-Man (the game) actor Yuri Lowenthal the comment with, “Seconded.” Another fan chimed in to that people who want to hear Futaba sing should “hire an actual voice actress.”
AI voices and deepfakes have been raising controversy for many months now. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim porn mods were recently in the spotlight as a growing number of mods cloned the performances of real actors to use in inappropriate contexts, 🐓without consent.
AI-generated art seems to invite serious questions about ethical consent and legal ownership. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Valve recently said “there is some legal uncertainty relating to data used to train AI models,&rdq𝄹uo; meaning that AI tools frequently infringe on existing copyrights.
Despite those moral and legal question marks, gaming’s major players🅘 are now exploring controversial AI tecꦺh.
