Harrison Ford, the iconic Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's portrayal of the character in the video game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, stating that it demonstrates the unnecessary use of artificial intelligence for voice acting. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Ford expressed his satisfaction with Baker's performance, emphasizing the capabilities of skilled actors.
"You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul," Ford declared. He continued, highlighting Baker's talent, "You can already do it for a pittance with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."
Released in December, The Great Circle offers an authentic, albeit possibly non-canonical, addition to the Indiana Jones franchise. This contrasts with the mixed reception of the latest film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, released in 2023. The game's positive reception might steer future franchise endeavors towards video games rather than relying on Ford's continued participation.
Ford joins a growing chorus of creatives voicing concerns about AI's role in filmmaking and media. Notable figures like Tim Burton, who described AI-generated art as "very disturbing," and Nicolas Cage, who deemed it a "dead end," share similar sentiments. The concerns extend to voice actors as well, with individuals like Ned Luke (Grand Theft Auto 5) and Doug Cockle (The Witcher) expressing anxieties about AI's potential to displace actors and diminish their income. While acknowledging AI's inevitability, Cockle highlighted its inherent dangers.
