@jsnell I mean, the whole “replacements for musicians" thing has been going on for 40 years (when digital sampling of real instrument sounds started appearing in recordings), so I think musicians are kind of resigned at this point.

To be honest, this musician is kind of excited to (e.g.,) add a bass player to a guitar-and-vocal track, the same way I can add a drummer now.

When I first saw it, I thought the ad was kinda funny in a cringy sort of way, but in retrospect, yeah... pretty rough.
