Overview
- On Tuesday John Bucigross told the Chirping Zebras podcast that EA played back AI-generated samples of his voice and said the company is using AI to create some in-game lines.
- Bucigross said he accepts AI help because it reduces tedious, repetitive sessions and described the arrangement as taking "less work and the same check."
- He is working with EA to correct errors in the AI output, citing an example where the system said the crowd stood up from "chairs" instead of the sports-appropriate term "seats."
- EA has previously described AI as part of its development pipeline and said voice work remains a collaboration with talent, a position backed by earlier comments from commentator Guy Mowbray.
- The disclosure has drawn online backlash from some fans and raises questions about labor, authenticity, and how developers will balance AI scaling with ongoing human recording for future updates.
