The popular new game "The Finals" caused controversy and faced opposition for using artificial intelligence dubbing

According to IGN news, Embark Studios, the developer of the recently popular new FPS game "The Finals", confirmed that most of the voiceovers in the game are generated by artificial intelligence tools, including the voices of all contestants and commentators. Only a few breathing sounds and jumping sounds were recorded in the studio because artificial intelligence is not yet capable of completing these tasks.

Embark Studios’ public admission of using AI has been criticized by many developers and actors. Voice actor Kit Harrison (Genshin Impact, Dying Light, Ghostrunner 2) slammed the move: "They need real people to simulate breathing and other sounds that AI can't do, like it can't replicate me jumping out of a chair. The noise it makes when it stands up but it's trying to take my job? That's ridiculous."

Elsie Lovelock, an actor in "Baldur's Gate 3" and other works, also criticized it: "The worst part is, no matter how realistic they think it sounds, it still sounds like garbage."

Gearbox Software narrative director Sam Winkler also expressed a similar view: "Using artificial intelligence voice acting to deliver content is a terrible decision, especially for a great game."

However, Embark Studios defended the use of AI voice acting in The Finals in a podcast: "The reason we went down this path is that AI text-to-speech technology has become very powerful. It allows us to Sufficient progress has been made in terms of quality, time savings, and allows us to respond extremely positively to new ideas."

The use of artificial intelligence in video games and beyond has been a hotly debated and contentious topic recently, even being at the center of a Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike.
