    Anyone know what they mean when they ask for protection from AI? Voice synth is going to be very big for video games seeing the massive amount of NPCs certain games have. I don’t think Microsoft is the kind to play ball and limit what they can do with AI

      I think it’s making sure that they can’t record their voice in a single session and have it synthesised forevermore.

        No that’s just what would be reasonable, they’re demanding much heavier restrictions on use of emerging technologies.

          to be fair, sometimes restrictions on emerging technologies aren’t a bad thing

            That’s an opinion that should be debated on it’s merits, misrepresenting the demands of a group because it’s easier to get people to agree with a different version isn’t good - also it kinda makes it seem the actual demands are unreasonable and most people wouldn’t agree unless misrepresented.
