Harrison Ford, the iconic Indiana Jones, has praised Troy Baker's performance as the famed adventurer in the video game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, asserting that AI isn't necessary to capture an actor's essence.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Ford expressed his satisfaction with Baker's portrayal, stating, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for a pittance with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."

Released in December, The Great Circle offers a purportedly authentic, albeit non-canonical, addition to the Indiana Jones franchise, following the 2023 release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. While the film's reception was underwhelming, the game garnered positive reviews, potentially influencing future franchise direction away from Ford's direct involvement.

Ford joins a growing chorus of creatives voicing concerns over AI's role in filmmaking and media. Similar sentiments have been expressed by figures like Tim Burton, who described AI-generated art as "very disturbing," and Nicolas Cage, who deemed it a "dead end." The concerns extend to the voice acting community, with actors such as Ned Luke (Grand Theft Auto 5) and Doug Cockle (The Witcher) highlighting the potential for AI to displace actors and diminish their livelihoods. They see AI as both "inevitable" and "dangerous," pointing out that its use in chatbots effectively deprives voice actors of income.
