I've been impressed with the Chris voice-over at Elevenlabs.
I quickly wrote some play-by-play and the voiceover was excellent.

Until the day arrives when OOTP has its own announcers, is there a workaround that would allow us in the game to choose MS Voices already on our computer? OOTP always plays the Dave voice even if the Mark voice is the default voice on my computer. |
You have to prove any Ai generated anything doesn't infringement on any copyright and that the company owns the rights.
So if the game company hired voice actors and built the ai around their voices it is ok.
If it's just some generic Ai voice then it has to proven it was based on voices that are able to be used for sale and not actually real people's voices who didn't give their permission.
Same applies for writing or art. You could load the Ai with the works of John grisham and have the ai create a story but steam would ban it. Because the original rights were not owned.
Now if the company can prove they contracted the author to generate an Ai story it is ok.
Accessibility has nothing to do with it. It is a legal issue over who owns the rights the Ai was built on and can it be proven.
