Gossip: 'For All Time' AI Voice Controversy Continues; Devs Refuse to Switch Back to Human VAs

The mobile game 'For All Time' (Shi Kong Zhong De Hui Lv Ren) has recently been at the center of a storm regarding its implementation of AI voice technology. In a recent statement, the developers confirmed they would continue to refine the AI voice, explicitly stating they would not switch back to human voice actors and emphasizing that the tech is their own proprietary intellectual property. This response has triggered significant pushback within the player community.

Community discourse is deeply polarized. Some players have slammed the current AI performance, citing issues like unstable playback speeds, lack of emotional range, and strange, unnatural 'AI accents.' Conversely, some players claim the performance is acceptable, attributing the backlash to anti-AI trends or player bias. A more pragmatic perspective suggests that the industry-wide difficulty in casting professional voice actors stems from high costs and the fear of 'cyber-bullying' (wangbao) from volatile fanbases, creating a vicious cycle that leaves developers reluctant to engage new human talent.
