‘AI is not an artist’ — Mass Effect 1 and 2 composer shares his stance on AI replacement in video games, says ‘Machines can never be artists as they aren’t human’
Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 composer Jack Wall has shared his stance on AI music and the technology being used as a replacement in video games.
Jack Wall, the original composer for the Mass Effect video game series, has expressed his concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in creating music for games. Wall believes that AI technology should not replace human creativity, and can only be used as a "creative tool" to assist in the creative process. He emphasized that AI cannot be considered an artist, as "Machines can never be artists as they aren't human."
The composer stated that the primary purpose of art is to serve as a human form of communication, highlighting the importance of human input in the creative process. Other industry professionals, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 composer Jason Graves, have also voiced their opposition to AI in video games, stating that the emotional depth and creative inspiration provided by human artists cannot be replicated by machines.
As AI continues to grow in popularity, it raises concerns within the gaming community about the potential loss of human touch and the artistic value that comes with it.
