The Witcher voice actor Doug Cockle has expressed caution and frustration at the growing presence of artificial intelligence within the video game industry, calling it "inevitable" but "dangerous".
filling in background, NPC voices, and things like that, which is unfortunate because those voices were all human beings at one point
Do i want AI to replace human voice actors? Of course not.
But there’s no universe where NPCs were ever going to have more than 3 voiced lines repeating over and over about an arrow to the knee or something.
AI would give developers almost infinite variety of inane NPC chatter to make the world more realistic. Thats probably where i would draw the line at using AI. Filling in little world details that nobody would otherwise have time/money to fill in
Or in other words, AI should add something to a game, not give the same amount of content using fewer human minds and hands

I could see someone using AI to make some incredible mods for games like Skyrim and Fallout.
They already do, via the Bandit Lines Expansion mod
