Destiny Rising’s AI voice controversy, explained
Destiny: Rising Players quickly noticed that not all dialogue was delivered by human actors. Some lines were filled in with AI-generated voices, creating a strange mix of lively performances and flat, robotic ones. The result? An experience that felt awkward and, to many, disrespectful.

Developer NetEase clarified that these AI voices were just placeholders and promised they’ll be replaced by real actors in the final game.
