How Fortnite's Darth Vader Chatbot teases the dark future for AI in video games

Everyone fights for the sacredness of art until Darth Vader turns and screams “Skibidi toilet” before wrapping the victory of Royale with Hatsune Miku. Last week he saw Epic Games add AI version of the iconic villain Star Wars to Fortnite, which in real time responds to all (or at least the most) vocal questions that have thrown on it.

Over the weekend, I saw people trying to explain to Darth Vader, what Furries are, teach him how to speak in general brain phrases, and, of course, make him swear and tell the elevations, despite the limits to the model AI epic games. He is not allowed to express romantic or sexual language, engage in hateful speeches, quote too many star wars, and all the usual things we have seen that users will come again and again with such chatbots.

It was a fun disaster, but it also speaks of a worrying future for AI, voice acting and the use of deceased characters that have been written on the wall for a long time. We opened the Pandor box and wouldn't come back.

Mainstream audiences perceive only ai as a toy to play with

I am well aware of the fact that they exist in Ocho. I cover video games, animation, film, television and a wider internet culture for life. This means that I will notice many different trends, habits and big events that would go through normal people. One such trend is the continuing proliferation of generative AI in each individual creative medium. What began as an entertaining part of experimental technology, which was not strong enough to play a serious role in the media we consume more and more increases. Now he risks receiving work from hardworking creative creative; The same that AI existed in the first place.

Unfortunately, we have reached the point that when I see a wonderful work of art online, I have to check to see if it is secretly produced by AI or not. I hate where we are now.

We already see AI tools used to produce cosmetic objects and posters in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and publishers such as Activision and Ubisoft showed that they have no reservations about using such methods to streamline development processes or even fully replace human beings.

Corporations, no matter how much we want to be cheerleaders for a particular platform holder, will always take shortcuts that reduce costs and increase profits. Thus, things work, and until the revolution and capitalism are not confirmed, nothing will change. The same applies to epic games, and just like I love Fortnite, Metavers in the foreground of playing will probably be the head of the AI perceived by a mainstream viewer. And in the case of Darth Vader it's a big problem.

Fortnite's Darth Vader Chatbot is the beginning of a very slippery slope

We should rebel in the streets about how to employ a voice actor to revive this fascinating new function, we use the voice of a dead man to spew nonsense as his best known character.

James Earl Jones's family gave a blessing for his voice to use epic games for this chat, and believe it was a useful honor of his heritage as an actor and the character he revived. I wonder if they would still feel that if they knew it would be used so that the Sith Lord could spew the slip slides in tilted towers.

I feel just like I did it with Ian Holm, who returned in Alien: Romulus. The film, which I wanted to love with all my heart, was forever tainted, thanks to the revival of an actor whose presence meant nothing but a cheap slice of fans. It is a ball, which proves that our obsession with renewing the relics of the past era maintained alive nostalgia is considered to be more important than creating new stories, characters and places worth taking care of. Darth Vader in Fortnite comes from the same misleading thinking and puts us on the way to the terrible future, which is now so positive.

Voice actors who are part of the Sag-infra Union are currently fighting for a better trade that will include fairer payments, improved working conditions and protection AI, which are to protect against the practices that Fortnite is currently abusing. What will prevent Epic Games from replacing future original characters with a talent that is not modified or re -established by human talent using some twisted inner voice bank? Darth Vader is a mere point of reversal, as Chatboti could one day be used to support the entire NPC ranges to live that spews random phrases instead of a curatorial dialogue reviving the real, human touch. I don't want to live in that world, but I won't have a choice.

The average consumer, which exists as part of a million strong audience, is likely to see a great new generative trend AI Chatbota in Fortnite and views it at a nominal value as an entertaining tool to play and discard. They will never think about the wider ethical consequences of the media they consume until it is too late, and they will normalize it, because corporations with greater power and money than the meaning of the shots, because those responsible for creating art are discarded aside. Without care, we fight with a lost battle.
