If I read the article correctly, instead of the protagonist character having a voice actor, they want to take a bunch of voice samples of you and then use that to generate their dialogue.
I wouldn't be surprised, in the slightest, to learn that agreeing to play this game, gives them full rights to the voice generator they build from your samples, and they pick and choose from those instead of having any voice actors in future games.
i don't talk while playing, that character gonna sound like family talking in the other room lmao
The way it's written in the article, with the mention of the detective game and how it is using it, it sounds like it's not generating a voice based on your voice, but dialogue based on what you are saying. But then the article author's use of "dubbing" throws that into question. I'm pretty sure I've seen the detective game they mentioned in the article, though. And it just generates the NPC responses on the questions (or statements) you give to them. And you're talking to them entirely with a microphone, not typing anything or selecting pre-made choices.
