Bro you can't be seriously asking that🗿🗿 Not everyone can do voice acting and beep may not always be suitable. Also text2speech can be used as an aesthetic tool to give off robotic vibes(scp foundation video for example)

It's not like having voice acting in a jam game is a norm. As for aesthetic robotic vibes, you can process your voice to equalize pitch and stuff like that. Or find an old voice synthesizer that does not use a neural network. This jam is about what you can create without AI.

The no AI rule started out pretty understandable, but now it feels like a personal bias that had to be extended towards EVERYTHING that uses any kind of ML just to rationalize the decision in the first place

@Zoogies, The rule was no AI (i.e. no ML) from the start. It hasn't "extended" anywhere. People just don't like being told they have to do their own work

Let's be real with ourselves, there are plenty of everyday tools that speed up tasks, like image background removers, that utilize AI.
Excluding every single AI-powered piece of tooling because of a personal bias doesn't feel gratifying, even if you insist that the motivation is to drive individual development and growth.
You would be doing people more favors by allowing them to stretch their abilities with the assistance of tools that they would normally be able to use freely.

That said, it's not my jam, so obviously these are the rules that must be followed.

well it's my event and yeah that is exactly what it is, a personal bias, cause it's my event lol


you don't need to participate, that's okay!

I'm pretty sure that voice generator is not AI. It doesn't use any machine learning or anything; just looks at the characters and then sequences up sounds. (I assume you're talking about something like SAM)

They're probably referring to the more modern ones - the kind that are used nowadays as placeholder speech, annoying TikTok voices, YouTube videos of US presidents playing video games and stuff like that.
