This is going to be the future of gaming, AI is going to be heavily involved in many parts of game dev going forward. AI voices aren't perfect yet, but when they are companies are naturally going to use them.

Companies will use them before they are perfect.

I have no issue with this. Games don't need to be perfect. I like some jank.

This is a tough subject, because I agree with you.

I'm not sure what a good agreement would look like in this circumstance. I think, even if this sounds outlandish, we need to start preparing for a post-work world.

I don't mean post-work in the sense that no one will work, just that the assumption that everyone should find a job is breaking down. Surplus labor is growing, and it's going to grow more and more, faster and faster, in different industries before others. And it's going to be disruptive.

Currently, I think that labor unions are a critical part of securing worker rights, but this is another example that they're not going to be enough to respond to shifts on the order we're witnessing. We need strong unions, but we need a broad social movement towards guaranteed services as well.

And I'm going to hate it.
