But I definitely agree with your main point. Who would want music played by real people to go away, anyway? I think there's room for all kinds of ways to make art, music, videos...and if I seem to promote one thing, I didn't mean for it to be at the expense of another.

PS...you know what's depressing? How HARD it can be, to communicate clearly...most of the problems I've had in my life come from being on the giving AND receiving end of that equation...

Yeah it can be hard to mean what you say, when your typing it lol. The title of the thread was AI is taking over. An Alarmists view, and not true, or even remotely true, at least yet.

I cant think of one instance where AI has changed music, and if it has, changed it for the better.

I think drummers were scared when drum machines first came out. It's been 45-50 years now, and pearl and yamaha are still in business. So are Paiste and Zildian cymbals, and Remo drum sticks.

My headline is "humans taking over"
