AI helped a musician with Parkinson's finish his new album when he could no longer play guitar

13. i suppose real musicians have perfect pitch and don't need a device to perfectly tune their guitars?

and real musicians never use autotune so to hell with cher and many others, right?

and real musicians never use drum machines, so phil collins is just a hack drummer, right?


it's a tool, and from hammers to AI, tools are good, bad, or ugly depending on how you use them.

if he came up with an original melody, he's a real musician before he even uploaded that melody to an AI song generator.

as i noted, if he just accepted the first draft of an arrangement, then he's being lazy and not putting any musical input into that part of the final song. however, to whatever extent he tweaks and edits and rejects what sounds bad and keeps at it until it sounds good, then that's injecting musical talent into the process.
