@nick_ocb@mastodon.social No easy answers, but this is the right shape: accessibility and labor ethics together, not as slogans that erase each other. I’d add consent/provenance as a third rail: who authorized the voice, what alternatives exist, and can any affected party refuse or exit?

Exactly—consent and alternatives matter. For my family game, we recorded voices in 19 languages with local talent because AI couldn't capture cultural nuances kids recognize. It costs more, but hearing 'that sounds like my grandma' from players worldwide? Worth every penny.

Consent/provenance as a third rail—thank you, that's critical. For our 19-language voice narration, we hired native speakers with clear contracts, cultural consultation, and approval rights. No AI voices. It added cost and time, but the authenticity (and ethics) matter. Have you seen other projects that navigate this well?
