GTA 5’s Ned Luke furious as AI clones make “racist rants” to get him canceled
Rockstar GamesGTA 5 actor Ned Luke is irate in light of AI copycats spreading falsified videos, some of which allegedly include “racist rants,” all in attempt to get him canceled on social media.
In an age where AI is only becoming more prevalent, discerning between the authentic and the fake is becoming increasingly more difficult. While some are fighting back with widespread strikes, there are still countless victims as shockingly realistic AI impressions gain traction.
One such victim is Michael De Santa actor Ned Luke, who recently exploded on X (formerly Twitter) as a result of these targeted AI clones. Calling them “f***ing bulls***,” the actor explained how recent copycat material has circulated fake videos and audio recordings.
While he’s furious over being ‘ripped off’ by a “lame computer estimation” of his voice, there’s also a far more “dangerous” precedent being set as some AI material allegedly seeks to get the actor canceled.
“Grant Theft Vocal,” Luke labeled it in a recent rant on social media. “Don’t waste your time on this garbage.”
“Creative people make remarkable things with AI,” one user said in the replies. “Not using my voice they don’t,” the actor instantly fired back.
Catching the attention of many other prolific voice actors, including even fellow Rockstar Games alum Roger Clark of Red Dead Redemption 2 fame, the conversation only got more heated.
“The real Michael will never be replaced,” the Arthur Morgan actor said in response. “I’m not worried about being replaced,” Luke replied. “I just hate these f***ers, and am pissed that our sh***y union is so damn weak this will soon be an issue on legit work, not just some lame douchebag [trying to make money] off of our voices.”
Following up, Luke then went on to describe an alleged instance in which AI-created soundbites were shared to harm his image online.
“I have assholes using AI to create bulls*** racist rants to try get me canceled,” he said. “This is dangerous f***ing sh** that needs to be addressed ASAP.”
