No matter what people want to say about AI, it's not going away. Just like the folks who made wagon wheels and buggy whips likely talked massive s**t about the newfangled "horseless carriage" saying it would never catch on with the people....change is inevitable, unrelenting, and bound to change a lot of things we hold on to with fervor. AI is doing the same thing in every aspect of life. There's no way to put it back in the bottle now. Use it or not, talk bad about it or not.... it's changing how we create music. Even our beloved Band in A Box has added several facets of it's ability to the menus here. No doubt, they are using it for writing code in the new versions yet to be released. They'd be foolish not to use it. Expect more AI assistance in the "Box" in the future releases.

As to the video.... that was really cool but nothing that some talented musicians could not have recreated themselves in a studio with some work and rehearsal time and the talent to play those parts. AI probably did the entire thing in under 30 seconds with a well written prompt. I've always thought that AI was programmed to avoid covers like this. At least that's been my experience when I ask it to help with a song in the style of some particular artist or band, it comes back and tells me that's not allowed. Copyright and other such things.

My biggest nit with AI is how easily fooled most people are. Especially when it comes to music and art.
