Epic Games debuts voice-interactive Darth Vader in Fortnite - and it's already being tricked into swearing

The voice of James Earl Jones, the late actor who voiced Vader, was generated using ElevenLabs' Flash v2.5 model.

Players quickly found ways to get Vader to respond with profanity by having him repeat offensive language used by them.

Australian streamer and gamer Kathleen Belsten, who goes by the handle "Loserfruit," shared a video online of her managing to prompt the AI Darth Vader to say "f---" during in-game dialogue.

Another X user with the handle @GasSpares was able to get the AI character to repeat a slur.

The site also states that "Players under 13 or their country's age of digital consent, whichever is higher, will need permission to talk with Darth Vader. These players will see an in-game prompt to get parental permission."
