What the shit?!- Richard Epcar July 4, 2023 Many voice actors were shocked as they were learning about this issue for the first time, with voice actor Richard Epcar writing, "What the s**t?!" The replies to Robbie's original Tweet are filled with some of the impacted voice actors reacting to learning that their voices have been used for pornographic AI content without their consent. "I believe that the creation and distribution of deepfake pornography is unabashedly evil, and that we as a community have a responsibility to act." "I am a long-standing and deeply concerned member of the mod community for The Elder Scrolls series of games," Robbie wrote. As a member of the Skyrim modding scene, I am deeply concerned at the practice of using AI voice cloning to create and distribute non-consensual deepfake pornographic content. With the rise of AI voice cloning, voice actors are being abused by the modding communities. Robbie said the actors' voice performances were mostly fed into an AI cloning tool called ElevenLabs, which generated the AI voices that were used in the explicit content.


Twitter user pointed out the practice of AI voice cloning in the Skyrim modding scene late last month, tagging a number of impacted voice actors.
