It has always struck me as hilariously ironic that folks who use software like BIAB to create much/most of their music, get all hot and bothered when some new technology like AI comes along and offers ways to do the same thing a bit faster with even less involvement!

Heck, we've even had long arguments here where folks who replace live band members with BIAB bass, drums and rhythm guitar parts in their "live" performances, then turn around and complain that open mic participants are somehow stealing their gig opportunities!

If you're using BIAB or similar tools to create your music you're not much different from the kid using AI to produce his music. You just drew the line in a different place.

Now, as for my personal preference, I would never knowingly go see a performance where the band is using backing tracks OR AI in their "live" performance. And I'd prefer not to knowingly listen to AI music. But going forward I don't think I'll have much choice.

I look at it very similarly. Some of the people who argue this is too far are the very people that musicians who don't use BIAB look at in that same way. It's kind of like the speed you drive at. Whatever it is is the right speed. People who don't drive your speed are driving too fast or too slow. MY speed is the RIGHT speed.
