yeah, I was considering posting this when I saw it this morning and then I figured it wouldn’t even be allowed on this sub because it’s not really relevant. I wouldn’t want this sub to become full of “ex-game dev releases other unrelated media”. There’s got to be plenty of that

A lot of people, myself included, feel this way about CS2 as well. I’m a huge Counter-Strike player. The game is fun, I still play it every day, but damn does it lack the content of CS:GO. I expected more at release.

Made a clip of it for anyone who just wants to see. Here’s the site if anyone wants to click around themselves. (The achievement is not a real Steam achievement but is a pretty funny easter egg)

HOWEVER, I do think that using AI to replicate a particular person’s voice is scummy unless that person gets fair compensation.

I think the core of it is that there’s a lot more personal identity do a voice, which is what you’re getting at here. The scattering of vegitation or buildings is indistinguishable between Tom, Sally, Mark, or a precedural generation tool. But the voice and characteristics of these hypothetical people are all unique, and changing one for the other is instantly noticeable.
