Downes Urges Fans To Avoid AI Voice-Cloning

Steve Downes, the longtime voice of Halo’s Master Chief, said in a recent YouTube AMA that he asks fans not to use generative AI to replicate his voice after seeing recreated samples online. He called voice cloning potentially harmless but warned it could deceive audiences and “deprive an actor of [their] work.” The remarks echo wider industry worries following leaked Sony demos and debate over AI use in game production.
