An AI image is a result of a technology, which falls under copyright.

A method to generate AI audio is the technology itself, which falls under patent law.

These are two entirely different things that should never be conflated.

Exactly. You can patent the way you integrate this tech into a game, as well as the process for how the audio is generated, but you cannot patent the audio itself or the implementation since those fall under copyright. Use of an implementation would need a patent grant, but use of the audio does not.

Patents and copyright are two sides of the same coin, and as such are related but are completely separate entities. Patents cover ideas and processes, copyright covers implementations and products.
