There was (and still somewhat is) a big uproar about auto tune usage in music. But guess what? You haven’t heard a song NOT using it since at least 1998. Unless youre friends with every sound engineer out there and can ask them specifically if an artist did or did not use it (unrealistic).
The same will happen with ai. People wont notice, and it will go on to be the norm, with a very small pocket of purists.
Its used in punk bands as well. i can assure you. Even if its home-recorded.
Wasn’t gatekeeping at all. Merely stating that that is the only way you truly know the music is completely authentic (if you care about that, most dont).
