AI has become too common to ignore in daily life, and its spread has stirred debate across entertainment, especially gaming, where many fear it is reshaping the field in troubling ways.

As more studios lean on artificial intelligence, criticism has grown around its heavy use, while hardware companies have also promoted AI-driven upscaling and related features to boost performance.

In a recent conversation, the original Mass Effect composer reflected on AI music and said the technology that was not around twenty years ago during the making of BioWare’s famed sci-fi series, should not take the place of human imagination, only support it as a practical creative aid.

• He said AI is acceptable when it helps spark ideas and gets a project moving.

• He went on to say that he is not particularly inclined toward AI music because it mainly repeats what already exists.

• He stressed that if a person is still making the artistic choices, the tool can have value.

The composer was clear that artificial intelligence cannot stand in for real creators, saying that AI is not an artist.

He explained that machines can never truly be artists because they are not human, and argued that art endures as a human expression expression. He closed that thought very directly.

Another game composer has also voiced concern about AI in video games, saying that nothing can replace the feeling, depth, and creative spark that human artists bring to their work.

He noted that music is far more than a simple chain of notes, emphasizing the emotional craft behind it.
