We have all had a little bit of time to digest GTA 6’s second trailer now, so naturally a fan’s had a go at re-creating it in GTA 5 for laughs. Cool. Good. Oh, wait, their in any other case fairly humorous video of Michael and Trevor filling in for Jason and Lucia options voices and a canopy of Sizzling Collectively that sound suspiciously AI-ish.
Come on, the web in 2025. You do not have to maintain being like this.
Whether it is AI, that is a disgrace too, as a result of the bones of YouTuber Gu1maz’s GTA 5 model of GTA 6’s second trailer are fairly effectively completed in isolation. Every shot from Rockstar’s newest showcase of the meteor it is now set to drop on us in Might 2026 has been re-imagined with characters, places and props from Los Santos subbed in.
Michael’s enjoying Jason, Trevor in a costume stars as Lucia, and Jimmy De Santa takes on the position of his religious doppelganger Cal Hampton. There’s loads of bodily comedy, together with quite a few close-up pictures of Trevor twerking in entrance of Michael and failing to lie on prime of him as a result of GTA 5’s animations aren’t fairly as much as GTA 6’s lofty requirements.
Watch on YouTube
Then, you flip the sound on. Mike and Trev are delivering all of Jason and Lucia’s traces, however with a really flat supply that smacks of one thing AI-ish being afoot. As somebody who’s reported on a number of mods that cleverly and subtly remix current in-game voice traces with a view to create new ones with out resorting to the very ethically shady follow of utilizing AI to ape an actor’s voice – one thing a number of voice actors are rightly involved about and presents an existential risk to their livelihoods – I would like to offer Gu1maz a shred of the advantage of the doubt.
The Trevor Phillips cowl of The Pointer Sisters’ Sizzling Collectively that kicks in about midway by means of their video makes that very arduous to do, although. Not solely does it sound lots like Trevor music covers you’ll find on YouTube that are forthright in admitting they’ve used AI, however it’s excruciating to hearken to in a manner that sounds a bit too robotic to be humorous.
There’s nonetheless an opportunity this may not be AI, however even placing apart that massive asterisk momentarily, an actual individual doing a Trevor impression, even the form of completely horrible one I would ship if I had been to try this, would most likely have completed a greater job of aping the spectacular vocal vary required to hit these notes. Plus, it might be manner funnier, in the way in which that movies like this one would not be wherever close to as side-splitting should you could not image the individual on the opposite finish completely destroying their voice field to ship some true artwork.
However right here we’re. It is 2025, a time when many of the probably humorous belongings you discover on the web rightly or wrongly go away you questioning whether or not you have to be laughing due to the very actual likelihood somebody’s completed one thing ethically dodgy to create them.
