If AIGM was like VSTs or vocaloids that’d be one thing. But it’s more like imitation of sounds, synthesizing song chunks instead of instruments and voices themselves.
The best way to think of it is something creating an audio file solely by using the Photoshop clone stamp tool across millions of source files.
Sure, but we’re talking generative here, as is the article, and to pretend it’s referring to a tool that’s been standard in libraries and even VSTs for over a decade is either misunderstanding the article or being disingenuous on purpose.
No, I get it. It’s generative. GPT: Generative Pretrained Transformer. Music generators add a diffusion layer, but it’s fundamentally new music being generated, not copies of existing songs.
My point is that it’s just another tool, that automates it even more. It’s not the same, it’s the next step.

That’s not how transformer neural networks work…
