While there was no generative AI used for the visuals of the extraction shooter, Embark Studios paid its actors for approval to license their voices for text-to-speech AI, according to S&ouml;derlund. Even though S&ouml;derlund said that the text-to-speech AI was reserved for lines &ldquo;that aren&rsquo;t as essential to the immersion of the experience,&rdquo; many players weren&rsquo;t happy with this creative decision.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_dgb7b4ilfaiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body mb-4 hidden pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_lgb7b4ilfaiv5tilbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Responding to the criticism, Embark Studios is seemingly reversing course and relying more on its voice actors. S&ouml;derlund said that the studio pays its voice actors for their time in the recording booth and will &ldquo;continue to bring many of them back as we carry on updating the game.&rdquo; However, it&rsquo;s important to note that S&ouml;derlund told <em>GamesIndustry.biz<\/em> that &ldquo;some&rdquo; of the AI-generated lines were replaced by voice actors, which could indicate that the studio isn&rsquo;t looking to completely ditch its text-to-speech AI anytime soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>Arc Raiders replaced some of its AI-generated voice lines, using professional actors instead<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an unexpected twist, humans have taken some jobs back from AI.
