80% of digital modellers & c buyers are bedroom players according to marketing researches

I don’t think it’s being ashamed as much then wanting that pro “badge of Honor”

Look around various fors and just see how many self proclaimed “session guys” there are.
Psh, bedroom player. I am playing in my "studio"! It doesn't even have a bed in it!
 
Everyone, even pros, spend time playing at home. The stat is not specifying how many are never playing gigs.

Another way to put it: 80% of players live in an apartment, condo or attached house where they cannot play loud. (I would say that much more than 80%).

What about real humans performing AI music? God that’d be sad.

It's likely happening already, with anything copyright related being as muddy as it gets in Suno (et al) land.
I mean, you can just have Suno create a song (and by now the quality is almost release-ready) and claim it'd be your composition/production. Nobody would ever be able to really tell anymore.

Any efforts to adress these issues will either be just a shortterm success only or aren't even wanted as so far, the big players make a profit.
There's very little doubt that AI created music will pretty much entirely take over any markets making profit when it comes to recorded music.

If you had an advertising agency today, it'd almost be (economically) stupid not to reach out for an AI service supplying the jingle for your new cereal spot.
The video clips themselves being the next victim of that trend (have a look at just how good Google's VEO 3 already is).
And finally, the advertising agencies will be out of business, too, as the company looking for a new cereal ad will just go all the way straight to VEO 3.

Next to follow: Movie composers. And then movie makers, directors included. Just come up with a plot and type it in as a prompt. Once the legal issues are sorted (or irrelevant), you'll be able to have an authentic 40y old Greta Garbo playing the daughter of an as authentic 80y old Scarlett Johansson as well, add Charlie Chaplin as Garbo's 10y old son if you like.

Sorry for the OT stuff - but that's what things will be like. To get back more on topic: For musicians, what'll be left will be self-sufficient home noodling and playing live. Which could even be OK as the entire business around recorded music is as fucked up as it gets since a long time already. So maybe we'll see a renaissance of decent live clubs (at least over here they're dying a lot since quite some time).
 
Replying to tiltle;
It's time to stop being ashamed for being bedroom player, and freaking own it.

I AM A BEDROOM PLAYER, I OWN MANY TUBE AMPS, 4x12 CABS, PEDALS AND MODELERS, AND I LOVE IT!

Just to clarify I have nothing against bedroom players at all, there's nothing wrong or less about that.
I prefer playing guitar in a band, though.

And I'm a 100% piano, bass and in the past drums bedroom player.

I've only found interesting the number spat out by Lee in that video.

I'm pretty sure the "home player" (I wrote bedroom by mistake) is a common and well understood definton that lousley mean "palyer that don't play in bands / mainly play at home for himself / the focus - when deciding what to buy or not - is not about performing live music"

Is not about how much time you spend palying wihtin your home walls, is about what kind of player you are, and how you define yourself (because this is how these reserarches are made, you define yourslef within a series of options), what drives you when you buy somenthing, what are your needs as a player.
