Final Fantasy Composer Has Never Used AI And Says He Probably Never Will

Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu has shared his thoughts on the rise of artificial intelligence in gaming, saying in an interview that AI has some potential for music in games, but he doesn't plan to use the technology personally.

Speaking to JASRAC Magazine, Uematsu said it's possible AI could help with transitions in game music between sounds, but using generative AI to make new music for games is not something he is interested in pursuing.

"I've never used AI and probably never will. I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself," he said, as reported by Automaton. "When you listen to music, the fun is also in discovering the background of the person who created it, right? AI does not have that kind of background though."
