In a recent discussion about the role of AI in the gaming industry, Jennifer English, noted as the voice of Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3, firmly advised against the use of AI for creative purposes.

“Mistakes are beautiful.”

During an interview with GamesRadar at the Golden Joystick Awards, she shared her stance against AI technologies that would replace human creativity, expressing her appreciation for the beauty found in creative flaws.

English stated:

“I get it, that AI is a tool. I get it. But not for—not to replace creativity. Mistakes are beautiful. Flaws are wonderful. Keep them in. Keep it human.”

Her warning is particularly timely amid rising concerns among fellow voice actors regarding the encroachment of AI in their field, highlighting a collective desire to preserve the integrity and individuality of human artistry.
