Riot uses a terrible AI voiceover for Sivir’s new spotlight that can’t even pronounce the name of the champion correctly nor has any fluctuation for any of the in-game terms used. It’s really disheartening to see a multi-billion dollar company use AI for a 2 minute showcase and ruining the announcement.

    I don’t know why people have always been acting like Riot is some wholesome small gaming studio filled with everyday nerds and gamers.

    It used to be in like 2012, but it’s become a massive billion dollar corporate machine. They are just very good at PR compared to other billion dollar corporate machines. This type of stuff will only become more common.

    AI voice acting saves a lot of money in the long run and this is why Riot is experimenting with it. Nothing we can say on Reddit will change this.
