The bot was first spotted by PCGamesNand was featured in a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) which promoted a “realistic voice conversation with Michael De Santa, the protagonist of GTA 5“.

Luke, the voice behind Michael De Santa, replied to the chatbot, writing that the voice replication software is “fucking bullshit”.

“Absolutely nothing cool about ripping people off with some lame computer estimation of my voice. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS GARBAGE…”

Roger Clark, the voice actor who played, among other characters, Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2replied to Luke’s post, writing that “the real Michael will never be replaced”.

Luke, however, confirmed that he’s not worried about “being replaced” and that he “just hates these fuckers” and is annoyed that the “shitty union is so damn weak that this will soon be an issue on legit work.”
