That's mostly Bricky's take too and I tend to agree.
Using AI in these callouts makes adding them easier and quicker for new items added to the game.
That's actually the studio's claim and if their claims of paying the VA's for their voice and further paying royalties to them is true, alongside their claim that it is only used for callouts, than I agree, I don't think it's much of an issue. The full on use on characters tho it's just shitty. If it produced actually good results like they did with machine learning for the robots movements, then at the very least they could have an argument for it, but it would still be weird.


Yeah that's what I meant with it being shitty if used on the characters. He didn't show examples of that in the video only of other voice-lines he thought was rather weird and off-tune, but I'll take your word for it. I'll take a look on youtube later to see how bad the traders voices are lol.
