Just sat through a disheartening video from my former drum-teachers at Drumeo, about how AI is inevitable and that musicians that don’t use AI will be left behind, comparing it to when tractors came to farming… wtf?

You’ve clearly not heard any of the Ai generated music.
Oh we’ve heard it. It’s shit. Good for a laugh and that’s about it.
Right, parent commenter seems to be under the impression that chat bots are all it is.
I have, it’s not an improvement over musicians. I see no way it could help a musician. I can see how it could help a non musician generate something that can pass for music, but I don’t see a musician getting use out of AI.
For writing music, if you could write music before, AI can’t help you. If you know how but just have a creative block, random AI crap won’t be any better in a musicians hands than a random person.
When it comes to performing, largely virtual instruments without AI could already handle those credibly. Stuff like violin might have taken longer, but it got there. The one exception is vocals, where vocaloid was about as far as non AI could get and while interesting, no one was going to mistake vocaloid for real singer. AI vocals can pass for a phoned in vocal performance. But I’d just as soon have a real singer, there’s no shortage thanks to decades of music and the Internet.
I have. It’s shit. You’d have to have a tin ear not to hear that.
