We're just getting further and further away (and conditioning our minds) from actually playing the stuff ourselves? If that's the direction people want to go, then they might as well just get AI to do it all.

I found it funny how lots of the examples were things that would be way faster to just play in yourself.

It is cool, but doesn't seem very creative to me. I'd rather have the control over what choices are made, as a user. To me when I write music I'm not thinking, I want Don Wilson of the Cherry Berry Pop Squad to play bass on my track .... I'm thinking I want the bass to really lock in with the kick, and to play a progression that my guitar ostinato can go over the top of ....

It might be cool to throw a few quick ideas together. But I really want to feel like whatever I create with whatever tools I use, is truly mine.

I find interesting that Celemony moved into this territory.

The porduct, assuming will perform and sound as promised, will appeal to several groups of people. Not a tool you'd probably use to make your own music as an artists.

I can see songwrighters using it when tayloring a demo for a specific artist.
I've assistend songwriters in writing session many times and they all want to get the song done fast and move to the next one.

Or anyone making production music (music made for being licenced for use in TV, big stores, movies, commercials, ect), for example, is happy to have tools that help them to work faster especially when buliding multiple variations of the same idea.

Anyway, it's a one of a kind product.
