Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves' - lemm.ee

While everyone here is screeching about jerbs, I would like to point out that using AI voices to voice an AI is an artistic genius in itself.

Yeah it’s real luddite hours here

“How will voicebot 2.0 pay for his child’s oil now?”

The Luddites ruled actually:

The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who opposed the use of certain types of cost-saving machinery, and often destroyed the machines in clandestine raids. They protested against manufacturers who used machines in “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.

It’s remarkably apropos to the use of AI to make an obviousoy inferior product, but apparently you think it’s an insult.

I’m sick of the Luddite slander. They were completely right and people need to know
