Is this song generated with AI as well? It definitely sounds like it. Much more so than your other submission. But now it makes me question the validity of your other song too. One way I can tell that there is AI involved is that when it comes to music, gen ai models seem to add a lot of needless "chatter". I don't really know how else to explain it.

I dont like the ai thumbnail

Hmm I noticed that other people are already pointing out that this may be AI generated but I still wanted to give it a chance to hear for myself because I've seen people use AI generated images solely for thumbnails and nothing else. But after listening, I find it hard to believe that it's human-made, especially since you claim that it was made in Audacity. There's a couple inconsistencies in the mix that gen AI algorithms tend to mess up too, for example the timbre of the kalimba sounds like it changes the moment the accordion comes in. I'm 90% sure the song is AI generated but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong.

This is AI generated without a doubt.

Your game page says there was no AI used, but the picture you have on the cover is clearly an AI generated image.

Developer

Of course, and this is perfectly consistent by my understanding. I have a local ComfyUI with different models, why would I not use it to generate an image perfectly reflecting the mood of my track? It is only an image, mate. It is not forbidden to create an AI-thumbnail :)

sure, but your game page says “no generative ai used” but you did. Okay use it, but don’t lie…

Regardless of if we agree, you lied on your game page

Man. been looking for that exact instrument leading at 00:34 for a while. Still dunno the name thought. Love the song

Developer(+1)

I don't recall any laser-precise shift in 0:34 mark, but right at around 0:27 an accordion is introduced. Before that there is just a mellow kalimba setting the mood. So I hope you were looking for the accordion!

Just searched up what an accordion is. That's the exact instrument I was talking about. Thanks

Perfect, happy to help!

Is this account literally a bot, if not, are you purposely trying to speak suspiciously?

Developer

I'm not sure what you mean, but there is definetely a human at the other side of the keyboard. I've been called an introvert before, but never a bot :)
