Agreed that hyphens should be used to indicate compound words, but you're saying that "audio-like" is an intended compound word? Then it's an adjective, modifying "music"? What would that mean?

That was my initial reading and I may have just misread it as them intending it to be compound rather than an aside modifier.

Well okay, not a "compound" per se, but it's a prefix/suffix, which similarly should use hyphens.

		I think the disagreement here is not whether that’s how you should use hyphens but whether that’s what was intended at all. The term audio-like music makes no sense.

		I think you're fundamentally missing the point being made here. Yes, "-like" is commonly used as a suffix, in which case a hyphen is correct. But describing music as "audio-like" is clearly nonsense (music isn't "like" audio, it is audio), so that's not the sense in which it's being used here. For clarity, the full sentence is: > Genie 4 is natively multimodal, enabling audio-like music, ambient noises, and interactive dialogue to be simultaneously generated with the world.
