Figured I could share the stuff I used in my latest track, most of it is stuff I use in other tracks as well. I'll highlight those that haven't been mentioned (I think): Drums Addictive Drums 2. Battery 4. Basically, I start with AD2 sound and then layer some extra stuff from Battery 4 to enhance the kit. I also use Battery 4 stuff for transitions. Synths and similar FM8 Massive/MassiveX Plogue chipsounds for chiptunes. (Here!) Effects Guitar Rig for distortion on bass, guitars and keyboards. ReEQ for EQ, it's a free JS plug-in that has nice functions like side/mid EQ. (You can find it here!) OTT. TAL Reverb. (Here!) Ferric Saturator. (Here!) kilohearts suite (limiter mostly). Melda suite (saturation!). isotope Ozone for mastering. I also use a lot of libraries from Komplete 8 for stuff but I'm a bit lazy to list them all...

This is awesome! I'm sure it took a long time to put together.

This is what appears to be almost entirely AI. There are a lot of typical tells regarding awkward animations and weird hand stuff (not to mention that the neural network voiceover is trying its best, but it's still pretty obvious). However, it's some of the best AI I have seen yet. The artwork is primarily consistent; most hands are delicate unless gripping something. This makes me feel several ways. On the one hand, it's pretty well done, and I'm confident it wouldn't exist at all without an individual user and some AI assistance unless you had some really, really talented artists working overtime. On the other hand, this only exists because of straight-up stolen art. They're still monetizing someone else's work. An argument could be made that it's not too dissimilar to machinima using the original models of a game, but generally, those game students consent to that. No one can consent to this. I don't know...I want to like it because it is an excellent lore recap, but at the same time, I always feel dirty with this AI stuff...
