Ahem. So. Upon further investigation, it is possible that the primary source for the "AI voices" brouhaha may, in fact, have been full of crap. Or at the very least, does not work at Hasbro.

I still won't put it past them to pull this kind of crap in the future, but it doesn't appear to be as dire in the present as it could be. Lukewarm comfort at best, but I'll take it.
