How do you feel about AI videogame music?

Generative AI has become increasingly integrated into game development, evolving from basic applications to the creation of entire games with minimal human involvement. This shift raises concerns about the impact on human creativity and artistic expression. In the realm of videogame music, while generative AI has not fully taken over, its influence is growing, with AI-generated rearrangements of game scores appearing on platforms like YouTube and accusations against Spotify for including AI tracks in playlists. This situation prompts questions about how gamers perceive AI-generated music and its effect on their experience. The emotional depth provided by human composers is viewed as irreplaceable by some, leading to concerns about the dilution of artistry in the gaming industry.
