Sony has released an internal video demo showcasing its AI-powered technology, featuring Aloy from the Horizon Forbidden West game series. The demo uses OpenAI’s whisper for speech-to-text, GPT-4 and Llama 3 for conversations, and Sony’s Emotional Voice Synthesis system for speech generation.
The demonstration shows Aloy interacting with a software engineering director, using synthesized voice and AI-generated facial movements. However, critics are questioning the use of such technology in entertainment, citing concerns over job losses in creative industries.
Industry executives have been touting the benefits of AI-powered technologies, but experts argue that it may not deliver on its promises. The demo has sparked debate about the potential implications of relying on machines for human-like interactions in media consumption.
