I would rather have the worst early 1990s low budget grabbed-some-rando anime English dubbing than ever hear AI voices used at all, ever

No, I 100% agree that computer RPGs these days have too much handholding. I, too, yearn for the days of being able to spend hours crafting my perfect build from hundreds of available options, only to discover that it mathematically cannot survive the mandatory rat fight portion of the first dungeon.

One of the reasons I've never bought into AI doomerism, is that to believe "it's here to stay, get used to it!" you have to buy into the idea that AI generated elements are so hardcoded or integral as to be permanent, when they really aren't.
You can simply remove it, and it's gone just like that.

I really hate how Call Of Duty just sucks the oxygen out of the room. So, the campaign in the annual corporate franchise sucks this year? There's been more words written about that than probably EVERY OTHER FPS RELEASED THIS YEAR COMBINED.
And there have been so goddamn many, and so many great ones

I wish cis people would understand just how stressful it is when every time there's news of gun deaths, far right trolls immediately jump to social media and claim the shooter is trans, and sometimes they'll circulate pictures of random trans women they want to incite violence against.
