Skillfully doing commentary on sporting events and competitive games is no easy task. You have to know a lotta stuff off the top of your head, and be able to deliver reactions and facts with confidence and a bit of theatrical flair. It\u2019s work! Konami has recently tried to cut the labor out of said work by creating AI-generated commentaries for its Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship matches. But this use of the tech has blown up in the company\u2019s metaphorical face as an actress has caught wind of her voice being used for the AI-generated commentaries without her involvement or consent.<\/p>\n

World Championship duels are presented with AI-generated commentary follows the publisher\u2019s announcement of a trial run of the tech. The video announcing that trial included a promise to leverage training data based on \u201ccountless simulations\u201d<\/a> of games using over 12,000 cards\u2019 worth of data. Konami alleges<\/a> that it understood the AI speech model it used\u2013called \u201cAnneli\u201d\u2013to be permitted for commercial use. But the company is now investigating whether the data used to train the model may have been \u201cbased on unauthorized learning.\u201d That\u2019s because voice actress and singer Hibiku Yamamura has asserted that it was her voice the AI had digested to produce the commentary tracks in question. In a post to X, the singer claims<\/a> that (as translated using the built-in function on X),\u201cNo matter how I listen, it\u2019s unmistakably my voice. But it\u2019s clearly not me\u2013my voice is reading text I\u2019ve never read before.\u201d She adds, \u201ccountless people who don\u2019t know this are listening to that narration.\u201d<\/p>\n \u5148\u65e5\u3001\u81ea\u5206\u306e\u58f0\u304c\u7121\u65ad\u3067\u751f\u6210AI\u30ca\u30ec\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u3068\u3057\u3066\u4f7f\u7528\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u52d5\u753b\u3092\u898b\u3064\u3051\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002 \u2014 \u5c71\u6751\u97ff\ud83c\udf6c\u3084\u307e\u3080\u3089\u3072\u3073\u304f (@hibiku_yamamura) September 5, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Yamamura was certainly onto something. As it turns out, it was her voice, which the AI had acquired by way of a character she voices in an adult bish\u014djo visual novel.
