They break down the technical challenges, the cost savings compared to traditional voice acting, and the creative trade-offs. Lucas and Luna also touch on player backlash against AI-generated content, the ethical concerns around voice actor jobs, and what this means for narrative design. Is this the future of immersive storytelling, or a step too far?
