Discussion around generative AI continues to permeate the industry, and Burhan Zamri, an associate producer at Divinity and Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios, is making it clear he's firmly against using the tech in voice-over work. In a post on Twitter, he explained exactly why it’s important that smaller roles go to human beings rather than machines.
"We lose the chance to support performers like Jennifer English if we let gen AI replace human acting," he states, sharing a clip of English voicing a meagre treasure chest in Divinity: Original Sin 2. "Every VA starts small and progressively levels up to take on bigger challenges."
