AI's impact on audio production has, of course, become a hot topic in the game music world.

While everyone's out here complaining about DLSS 5 ruining video game art, it's likely there will be full AI soundtracks in games and movies soon, a real shame. I will refuse to play or watch any such movie/game as a (lousy) musician.

Not to mention ML generated music sounds really off to me.

Much more so than voice acting. Could be a personal thing.

I can hear it as well. It sounds "sliced" up like an overly compressed MP3 file. It's not analog and we can tell.

Don't know about "analog", but I find ML generated music to have much more of an uncanny valley effect than voice work or art.

It sounds off and distracting.

There has been pushbacks every time a major game had anything with ai slop, so I'm not sure. Also why would anyone pay for something a machine did instead of pirating it?
