Currently Steam bans games from using AI-generated assets (for good reason). I wonder if they'll back track on this or carve exceptions because this tech seems really useful for indie devs to add voice work to their otherwise silent games.

Very speculative amateur opinion: My understanding is that Valve didn't exactly ban AI, they banned AI that was fed copyrighted works that could possibly make the results copyright infringement ( https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/1/23781339/valve-steam-ai-ar... ). (Side note: Regardless of individual views on whether AIs are just copyright regurgitaters or not, I can understand Valve being cautious until courts have actually decided.) So if speech models can be made purely from assets that their creators can prove they have the rights to use, it would probably be easy enough to get it approved.
