Jason SnellLegitimately surprised it was the "Crush" ad and not the AI-powered replacements for musicians as the thing that fed the discourse.
Me, I'm still shaking my head about the guy gleefully editing Numbers spreadsheets on BART.

I suspect the "Crush" ad hit people wrong for many reasons, but a big one was crushing "cute" things. Might as well have put a kitten in there.
As a musician (and someone who does a fair bit of bass and keys) I don't think the "AI" bass and keys in Logic are going to put me out of work any more than Apple's Drummer feature put drummers out of work ten years ago. They'll be tools in the drawer, and Apple's not the first player in the arena.
@geoffduncan I don't either - I think they're specifically for people who are not able to hire session musicians or are just spitballing before going into a studio - but that doesn't stop the discourse from reviling things!
Steven Woolgar@jsnell @geoffduncan I’m more upset that they decided to not make it for Intel. Intel Mac Pros are very popular studio computers and Logic Pro is often more optimized on my Mac Pro than my Mac Studio.
I think the excuse about needing the neural engine is bogus. Let the difference show everyone how much better it is with the neural engine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@geoffduncan @jsnell apologies for confusing the features.

No worries!
