Harrison Ford, the iconic actor behind the Indiana Jones character, has expressed his approval of Troy Baker's portrayal of the archaeologist in the video game "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle." In a discussion 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 praised Baker, known for his role in "The Last of Us," for his brilliant performance, emphasizing that AI was not needed to achieve such quality.

"Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" was released in December and is considered an "authentic" yet non-canonical addition to the beloved franchise. This release comes after the 2023 film "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," which did not receive favorable reviews. In contrast, the game has been well-received, suggesting that the franchise's creators might consider exploring this new direction rather than having Ford reprise his role.

Ford, celebrated for his roles in "Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," and upcoming Marvel projects, joins a chorus of creatives voicing concerns over the use of AI in media. Notable figures such as Tim Burton, who finds AI-generated art "very disturbing," and Nicolas Cage, who sees it as a "dead end," share similar sentiments. Voice actors have also spoken out against AI, with Ned Luke from "Grand Theft Auto 5" condemning a chatbot that used his voice without permission, and Doug Cockle from "The Witcher" warning IGN that while AI is "inevitable," it's also "dangerous" and could rob voice actors of their income.
