Muse was literally beyond laughable. Compared to other AI systems I have never seen anything so bad, and for 30usd? Anyone agree? Would be ok if it could make sprite sheets.
I did try to try muse behavior if it counts, until I see that adds 200mb to build because tutorial of the package was in resources folder. I did the wise thing and deleted the package instead of just tutorial.
I tried it yesterday. After installation the Unity log showed several hundred (thousand?) missing script errors for Muse game objects. It then failed to compile due to namespace conflicts with existing Unity classes. I uninstalled it.
It’s garbage. Absolute trash compared to literally every other option on the market and yet somehow costs more.

Is there no demo and no free tier for it?
theres a 15 day trial
As mentioned, there’s a trial. This is one of those situations where offering a trial in the first place probably does more harm than good because of how poor the product is.
I tried the Muse Chat thing to compare it to ChatGPT but it gives worse results and often more incorrect information than ChatGPT. And sometimes just gave a link to documentation (which could have just googled instead).
The monthly price of 30 USD is a detractor when ChatGPT is already there for free and offers more features. And also allows tangental non-unity searches and data.
Haven’t tried the other tools that come with Muse yet. But they all seem geared towards prototyping which is already a space well served with other third party assets and tools.

My frustration when i tried must be nearly a year back, was that you got x credits and generating 4 textures didnt take like 4 credits, you chewed through loads and it felt like if i was gonna pay the 30 for it, if i was after a bunch of textures, or, something id likely get through my monthly set real quick. I do like the integration but, its just not worth it

It felt incomplete and frustrating to use. I don’t understand how you can release an inferior product at a cost when free products are orders of magnitude better. Even if it improves, I have already used my free trial, locking in my original perspective. It’s a very good way of killing a product before it reaches the runway.

Muse chat is a slightly modified GPT3.5 at $30/month, which gives you limited amount of credits that you can consume in 120 chat messages at which point you need to shell out more money. By far the most expensive product on the market that delivers one of the worst results. You can use the vastly superior ChatGPT4o for free now.
Same can be said about the image generator, you can get better results from free resources.
And Muse behavior seems rather pointless, I don’t know for whom it’s even meant for. Some kind of non-coder visualization team where they can get in basic NPC behaviors or something?
Like most Unity endeavors in recent years, it’s unfocused trend chasing that fails to deliver.

I think they did add some training on their code and documentation… but… yeah not worth 30 a month for me for sure
OpenAI’s gpt-3.5-turbo is the best model with support for fine tuning that is production ready. So if you’re looking at other OpenAI-powered models from third parties chances are they’re going to be based off of the weaker gpt-3.5-turbo rather than gpt-4 which is still experimental.
Any state of the art model will produce better Unity specific results than Unity’s fine tune. And the whole tech is experimental, I bet Unity’s issue with GPT4 is that it’s significantly more expensive to fine tune and maintain.

I’ve tried muse textures, but you can find much better texture generators for free and it’s not even close to the premium ones like midjourney/leonardo etc.
I think there text based AI announcement made it clear from the start that they missed the train.
