Sony Wants To Use Gen-AI To Feed You Fake Podcasts Voiced by PlayStation Characters
Summary
Sony has filed a patent for an 'LLM-Based Generative Podcasts for Gamers' system that utilizes generative AI to create personalized podcasts for players. These podcasts would be hosted by iconic first-party PlayStation characters, such as Kratos or Jin Sakai, and tailored using the gamer's personal profile data to deliver relevant gaming news. The system could potentially pair the audio with relevant media like trailers and screenshots. Disturbingly, the filing suggests the AI-generated audio might even include jokes at the player's expense. The patent does not address how the original voice actors for these characters would be compensated or represented when their voices are replicated by the AI.
