People have always been fearful and alarmist towards new technologies, particularly disruptive ones - for mostly understandable reasons. AI is just the latest one - will it reshape society? Probably yes, like many technologies before (eg, printing press, TV, computers, internet, mobile phones, social media etc). Will some people abuse it? Sure. Will some people embrace it and empower them to do creative things, and possibly more things than they could have previously? Sure. Much as it ever was.
I don't really share the "this new technology <insert fears of the current moment here> is going to be the death of XXX"... attitude generally, but it's always good to be wary, and understand the implications of new technologies, and hopefully deploy and use them wisely (as much as humans can, of course...), and monitor our progress as we go in case we don't like the direction and course correct.
There's already plenty of bad music out there - if you worry about people who don't learn to play instruments or how music works, then the bad news is computers and software and accessible technologies let these people make music decades ago. (I'd argue that that's no bad thing, personally, I was no more a good musician when I first unwrapped my Casio VL-Tone than anyone else loading Garageband for the first time, but of course it does mean that the more people who *can* make art, means that there's more low-quality art out there, while some of these people will develop into good artists over time.)
That doesn't change the fact that there are still great musicians, making great music, and it's good to focus on the music you like, rather than the stuff that you don't. Being creative is a human thing, and regardless of what else is going on, I don't see any historical evidence that past technological progress has changed human nature, nor do I expect this latest one to do so.
And is it hard to making a living from creative work? Yes. It always has been.
Having an extra virtual bassist window in Logic isn't really going to change my musical output, and while I'll play with it for sure, based on how Drummer works I can pretty much guess what it's going to be like, and for me, it's likely not going to replace me putting my own bass lines down. It's probably a fun thing that can come in handy sometimes, and maybe for some people it'll be a godsend (like Drummer was, a lot of people just seem to not be able to do drums at all, or even be interested in it) but I suspect largely for me, like the Score Editor, or other tools I don't use, that window will mostly stay closed.
However, I *am* interested in the changes that the release notes may reveal, and those are more important to me. 👍
