Arc Raiders Is My Game Of The Year, But Its Use Of Generative AI Really Sucks

The developers of Arc Raiders initially recorded voice actors, then used that data to train AI to replicate their voices for any situation in the game. This means they don’t need to bring the actors back every time new content is added – the AI learns to speak like them, with the actors’ permission. This approach isn’t new for the team, as their previous game, The Finals, also uses similar AI technology. While Embark has confirmed all the game’s visual art is created by humans, they admitted the AI voices are used for shopkeepers, emotes, and other minor character dialogue. This has made me feel uncertain about how much I want to praise the game, despite enjoying it.
