Harrison Ford, the iconic Indiana Jones actor, recently praised Troy Baker's performance as Indy in the video game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, stating that it proves "you don't need artificial intelligence to steal my soul."
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Ford expressed his satisfaction with Baker's portrayal, highlighting the actor's talent and skill. He emphasized that genuine talent, not AI, was responsible for the successful impersonation. "You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent," Ford stated. "He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, released in December, offers an authentic, albeit non-canonical, addition to the franchise. This contrasts with the less-well-received 2023 film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The game's positive reception might influence future franchise decisions, potentially shifting away from relying on Ford for future installments.
Ford joins a growing chorus of creatives voicing concerns about AI's role in filmmaking and media. He stands alongside figures like Tim Burton, who described AI-generated art as "very disturbing," and Nicolas Cage, who deemed it a "dead end." The sentiment extends to voice actors as well, with individuals such as Ned Luke (Grand Theft Auto 5) and Doug Cockle (The Witcher) expressing concerns about AI's potential to negatively impact their livelihoods and the industry. They see AI-powered chatbots and similar applications as a form of theft, depriving voice actors of income.
