Harrison Ford, the iconic actor behind the character of Indiana Jones, has expressed his approval of Troy Baker's performance in the video game "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle." In a conversation with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Ford humorously remarked, "You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job, and it didn’t take AI to do it." This statement underscores Ford's satisfaction with Baker's portrayal of the beloved archaeologist, emphasizing the value of human creativity over artificial intelligence.

"Indiana Jones and the Great Circle," released in December, offers an "authentic" yet possibly non-canonical addition to the storied franchise. This game's positive reception contrasts sharply with the lukewarm response to the 2023 film "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," the first new film in the series in years. Given the game's success, the franchise's creators might consider focusing more on this new direction rather than bringing Ford back to reprise his role.

Ford, known for his roles in "Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," and upcoming projects in the Marvel universe, joins a chorus of creatives who are critical of AI's role in media. Notable figures like Tim Burton have described AI-generated art as "very disturbing," while Nicolas Cage has labeled it a "dead end." The concerns extend to the voice acting community, with actors like Ned Luke from "Grand Theft Auto 5" and Doug Cockle from "The Witcher" voicing their apprehensions. Luke criticized a chatbot that mimicked his voice, and Cockle warned IGN that while AI is "inevitable," it's also "dangerous," potentially robbing voice actors of their livelihoods.
