Thoughts

General AI noise generator needs a lot of work… not sure if the prompts are bad, or the generator is bad, etc. Some sounds are pretty good, many have a weird hum. I really like the descriptions that GPT gave for the scene.

If this goes further, the user would need to be able to listen, pick and choose sounds that work.
