I love this idea, but I really wish it were Warcraft II voices.

I don't see any mention of having to own warcraft 3 to use its assets... This is as much of a copyright violation as the LLM training process. Did anyone vote an exemption from copyright if it's for "AI" use?

Copyright is about as dead as any party you happen to walk into.

Finally someone doing actual good work with LLMs instead of “Claude, shit me out another useless SaaS”. Just as was foretold: an actual differentiator is creativity, not coding ability.

Agreed. Now I'm still waiting for someone to succeed at a clean-room recreation of Majel Barrett's voice, so we can finally have computers sound like they always should have. We could've been there a decade ago, but the high-quality audio samples, made officially and specifically with possibility of this use in mind, got trapped somewhere between the estate, producers, and a commercial interest that called dibs, and…

"Greetings Professor Falken" is the only greeting you need

Hello, fellow 40-45(?) year old. I feel like anyone preferring Warcraft III is in their 30s. Grew up with the Warcraft II Battle Chest and it was a vibe .

I recently replayed Warcraft II and fell out of my chair when I realized the original did not have control groups. Those were only added with the Battle.Net edition!
