Sony Confirms Controversial PlayStation Tech Demo Leak Is Real
Last week, an internal leaked, causing quite a stir. The video showcased Aloy from the Horizon series powered by artificial intelligence rather than a real voice and motion capture work, leaving players concerned for the future of PlayStation Studios games. Aloy actress Ashly Burch has since confirmed that the tech demo is real, and someone from Sony got in touch with her about it.
We didn't really doubt that the tech demo was real since it was hit by copyright strikes that were traced back to Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, Burch directly confirmed to fans in a public TikTok video that Guerrilla Games contacted her to assure her that the video didn't reflect any in-development work, and it wasn't her performance that was used to train AI.
That said, Burch pointed out that despite the fact that the character Aloy is the property of Sony, the threat of AI abuse is very much real — something the SAG-AFTRA union is actively fighting against.
'What we're fighting for is that you have to get our consent before you make an AI version of us in any form, you have to compensate us fairly, and you have to tell us how you're using this AI double,' Burch explained, adding that she's not worried about the technology itself, rather how it's used.
'I just imagine a video like this coming out that does have someone's performance attached to it, that does have someone's voice or face or movement, and the possibility that if we lose this fight, that person would have no recourse.'

People Reveal "Propaganda" They're "Not Falling For"
If you drop a conversational buzzword like conspiracy, universal lie, or overrated...I am INSTANTLY hooked! As long as you don't try to convince me that the world is flat, I eat that stuff the more controversial it gets. So when Reddit user Winter_Sherbet_4247 asked, "What common propaganda are you not falling for?" I had to share some of the responses – the tame AND the unhinged ones. So let's go... Skin care. Work is everything. Having children fulfills people. Trad-wives are anti-feminist. Cops are heroes. Being happy all the time. Therapy. Personal realities are "truth." Organic food. Dairy. A happy childhood involves spoiling. Hype-bosses trying to inspire. Chemicals for grass. Air fryers. Companies controlling your desires and happiness. Seasonal and constantly trending wardrobes. Smart homes are smart. Being "the bigger person." Food colouring causes hyperactivity. Anti-vax. And lastly: "Watevva da orange man says." I have some of my own – like the morning shed, recording multiple videos on your phone during concerts, and minimalism home decor – but tell me the propaganda YOU are not falling for in the comments and if you fall into the niche "dairy propaganda" category. And make sure you follow BuzzFeed Canada on TikTok and Instagram for more!
