Now that artificial intelligence can clone voices, video game actors must weigh their options

WEHEAD connects to ChatGPT and displays a face, expressions and voice. If you are battling a video game goblin who speaks with a Cockney accent, or asking a gruff Scottish blacksmith to forge a virtual sword, you might be hearing the voice of actor Andy Magee. It's a synthetic voice clone generated by artificial intelligence. As video game worlds get more expansive, some game studios are experimenting with AI tools to give voice to a potentially unlimited number of characters and conversations. It also saves time and money on the "vocal scratch" recordings game developers use as placeholders to test scenes and scripts.
