10 years in the making, this total conversion based on Half-Life is every bit as ambitious as Black Mesa (www.pcgamer.com)

You missed out the very next bit, which seems equally as important:

Normally, I'd write a game off under such circumstances, no matter how much or little it cost to make or buy. However, Diffusion's developer, who goes by Aynekko, has stated that the voices are "currently being rerecorded" with human voice actors. These will be added into Diffusion "for the next or after the next update".

No excuses for slop voiceover - especially when it’s apparently shit quality too - but at least it sounds like they’re replacing it. Just wish they’d not bothered with the AI to begin with, and it does call into question their creative vision overall.

Didn't miss it, it's the caveat for playing the mod now. Although a bigger dealbreaker for me is the underdeveloped narrative.

I guess it's fine, but we've had text-to-speech for decades without ai. Just use that for placeholder voices.
