Harrison Ford, the iconic actor behind the beloved character Indiana Jones, has recently expressed his satisfaction with Troy Baker's portrayal of the adventurer in the video game *Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*. In a discussion with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Ford humorously remarked, "You don't need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent." He praised Baker's performance, stating, "He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it."
*Indiana Jones and the Great Circle*, which was released in December, offers an "authentic" yet potentially non-canonical experience in the storied franchise. This game arrived shortly after the 2023 film *Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny*, which did not fare well with audiences. In contrast, the game has been well-received, suggesting that the franchise's creators might consider shifting focus towards this new medium rather than continuing with films featuring Ford.
Ford, known for his roles in *Star Wars*, *Indiana Jones*, and upcoming Marvel projects, joins a chorus of creatives who are critical of artificial intelligence's role in media. Notable figures such as Tim Burton, who described AI-generated art as "very disturbing," and Nicolas Cage, who labeled it a "dead end," have also voiced their concerns. In the voice acting community, opposition to AI is similarly strong. Ned Luke, known for his role in *Grand Theft Auto 5*, criticized a chatbot that mimicked his voice, while Doug Cockle, the voice of *The Witcher*, told IGN that AI is "inevitable" but "dangerous," echoing Luke's sentiment that such technologies could deprive voice actors of their livelihoods.
