I think the people who just pick up an instrument and fool around with it might be more tempted to use AI than an actual composer who knows and cares about music theory and sound production.
It’s all about what they want to do. You don’t ask a algorithm to solve your sodoku, because what’s the point of doing it then.
It’s a standing joke that composers actually make their living doing tedious tasks like commercial jingles and background music for radio shows. The AI can easily do that, removing both the tedious work, but also the payment.
Algorithm based music isn’t a new thing. One could argue that it was exactly what Bach was doing. His ideas were mostly simple three note motifs, and the rest of the hourly long concerts were just him churning out all the possible arrangements using strict theory. AI could do that faster than a human, but I also don’t think any human is really interested in doing it like that anymore. It was a huge accomplishment by Bach, but only because he was the first to lay the groundwork. It’s not interesting today.
Composition today is all about conveying an idea or emotion through sound, which would be rather difficult for an AI. It can probably fake it well enough, but it’ll be based on already existing methods, aka slop. There’s already enough human made slop in music to saturate the market for such. AI doesn’t really have an edge in doing it, except it might be cheaper for those that need it.
final fantasy III (us III, the magitek mech kefka one) has tunes I STILL use as background music on audio production: magitek factory, the intro and shadow’s theme specifically
the idea this god damned genuis would let an algorithm write music he’s bother to even listen to is madness
idk, i have a hard time imagining a scenario where AI output is preferable to the alternatives. If one “needs” an AI to do something, they should just hire a human. They will get better results than they get from the word-association machine. Once AI companies stop subsidizing the cost of AI to attract users, the human will probably be the cheaper option, too.

Oh that’s easy, it’s when you need the thing cheap and now.
I used to work at a friend’s start-up where, charitably, his approach to business was archaic. “We don’t need to advertise because good word-of-mouth is good enough, and what’s the point of having a website and social media?” kind of archaic. Without a doubt, he would be using AI for absolutely everything.
I am skeptical of how well done it’ll be. Do they have any games that aren’t just dialogue heavy, QTE adventures? Becsuse even those simple styled games I have played from them have a lot of jank.
Not to say they are bad games; the genre allows for a lot of leeway since it’s story focused. But competitive multiplayer? You want that shit as smooth as possible.
Knowing VGC, I would assume the writer just pulled it straight from their press kit. I tried to check the press kit in their site, but EA is big enough that they make journalists register for a press portal to see that kind of thing.
I only got a ps5 two years ago and I’m set with games for years. I’m still working through PS4 games I never got round to. The idea of a new playstation at this point, particularly after the chip shortage debacle, seems absolutely absurd.
The ESU license will be associated with the Microsoft account used to enroll. You may be prompted to sign in with a Microsoft account if you typically sign into Windows with a local account.
Hahaha fuck you microsoft.
You can enroll in ESU in one of the following three ways: At no additional cost if you are syncing your PC Settings. Redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points. One-time purchase of $30 USD or local currency equivalent plus applicable tax.
If you want to keep using Windows 10, check out 0patch! They’re supporting security updates past EOL. It’s like €24/year and you can get a 1 month trial for free.
They have an interesting concept. I would have liked more info on who’s behind it, to assess expertise, and how they identify issues to patch. Only public CVE? Are those always fixable with micro patches?
They’ve also mentioned elsewhere that they’ll continue support as long as there’s enough of a subscriber base to justify it. If enough people are using it, that 5 years could be much longer. They offer security patches for Windows 7 too.
I’m not really sure what their process is. I’m just glad to be able to keep my current work flow without having to worry about fully losing security updates.
