Neil Newbon says AI couldn't make anything like Baldur's Gate 3

Gamesradar reports that Baldur's Gate 3 actor Neil Newbon, who plays Astarion in the 2023 RPG, said "there's no f*cking way AI could make" anything like Baldur's Gate 3: "It's too interesting, subtle, crazy, off the wall, pathos-filled. It's too human."

Newbon is once again making clear he does not want generative AI anywhere near his video games. The article notes he has previously described AI as "sucks," "doesn't work very well," and "sounds crap," alongside other expletive-laden repudiations.

The report does not detail any specific steps Newbon or others will take regarding AI use in games, nor does it include responses from developers or other parties.
