The actor who played Michael in Grand Theft Auto 5 has called out a company that made an AI audio chatbot of his character.

As reported by PCGamesN, Ned Luke – who provided both his voice and likeness for the protagonist Michael – posted a message on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday criticising Web3 company WAME.

WAME was offering an AI chatbot which pretended to be the Michael character, but rather than just a text chat this was a voice chat, using an AI interpretation of Luke’s voice to essentially have him say anything.

“This is fucking bullshit @wamexyz,” Luke said. “Absolutely nothing cool about ripping people off with some lame computer estimation of my voice. Don’t waste your time on this garbage.”

Music producer Marilou Burnel replied to Luke, saying: “Creative people make remarkable things with AI, and the opposite is also true.”

“Not using my voice they don’t,” Luke retorted.
