Voice actors who appeared in ‘The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim’ have come forward to protest the use of AI trained with their voices for mods (user-created content).
‘Mod (MOD)’ refers to user-created content that involves partially modifying or adding files within a game to play and share with others. In Korea, where online and mobile games are dominant, mod creation is not as active, but in single-player games, mods allow users to change the appearance of characters or add user-created weapons and monsters, and large-scale mods that modify the overall game system or change the game background are also created.
...
The AI tool that caused the problem, ‘ElevenLabs’, was launched in 2022 and gained popularity among game mod developers. The sharing of AI-generated content also became more active as ‘Nexus Mods’, a website where gamers share mods, allowed the use of AI voices. It’s easier for individuals to hire human voice actors to create content, so using AI voice actors is a practical solution.
