What are your opinions about AI generated otome voice/games

[Neomii]

I always quickly scroll away every time I see situation voices with an AI-generated image attached to it. It immediately gives me a bad impression of the product, and most of them look ugly/weird to me anyway. Even worse when it's an AI-generated voice, who wants to listen to that? No thank you.

AI in anything that involves creative direction feels extremely low-effort, and like it's only there to make money off people who don't know any better. I believe everyone should have the right to consciously choose not to support AI, so, as much as I'd love to combat it in any way and prevent people from wasting resources on straight-up slop, it's just sad to see how AI usage often goes uncredited.

There are cases where you'd never know unless the studio admitted it, and that feels especially predatory towards consumers. I myself decided to stop supporting Voltage and their games because of their use of AI in RBL (no idea if they addressed it in any way though, I'd love to know!). If they can't even be transparent about that, it just makes you wonder what else they're using AI to generate instead of creating actual meaningful stories with the help of real people.

I don't care if it speeds up the process or makes things more efficient. If you were able to do it before without AI, then clearly you're either choosing to be lazy or hoping to make a quick buck off people's hobbies. Every usage in creating something that people pay real money for should at least be mentioned in some way.

I hate them, i hate genAI, and I wouldn't even check them out if they use it for their games. though, I still haven't seen them (thankfully), but if I did, I wouldn't play it. I would rather support real human than an ai garbage who have no soul T_T

At this point, the quality of works in which the bulk of the creative process is left to AI is so low as to be out of the question, so I don't think they have any value.
Even if AI performance improves in the future, I would still prefer to appreciate art created by human hands rather than AI-generated imitations.

There are audio works on YouTube and DLsite that use AI-generated images for their thumbnails, but the quality is usually pretty low. I think when the main goal is clearly to make easy money, the audio itself tends to suffer in quality as well.

I don't think it's good. Especially in the otome game genre. I already don't like seeing that kind of thing in other genres, so I don't want to see it in the otome genre that I love.

用自己的想法，将人工智能作为工具，然后再用专业知识和专业精神梳理它，最好有不错的审美

If the dev cannot be bothered to put in the effort to actually make, then *I* cannot be bothered to make the effort to play it, much less pay for it. I see enough ai slop on social media these days, I've had to start blocking all the accounts that post it. I don't want to see it in games, too.
I would rather have uglier man-made art than that cookie-cutter things that AI makes.

To be honest, in that case, I'd actually prefer it if there were no voice acting at all. Personally, I have no problem with games that don't have voice acting and rely solely on text, although I know that many people don't like to read and prefer to listen.
As for illustrations generated by AI... Here, too, I prefer natural, less polished illustrations to overly artificial images.
Of course, using AI isn't a bad thing in itself—in theory, it was created to help—but I think games are, after all, a form of art and should remain primarily that.

It would suck from the dialogue to the arttt hell nahhhh

I can "forgive" AI content in indie projects because sometimes it's the only way for someone to create their own game and realize their idea. But I can't be so lenient toward companies that allow AI slop in their projects. Like The Red Bell's Lament (Voltage) with their lazy AI slop on some backgrounds.
