This kind of mission of "enabling anyone to do X" seems to undermine the value it claims to provide.

So, if anyone can make music, then what's the value of being able to make music?

But, if what it enables still requires some rare talent or significant learning to make good music, then how is that different from today? And, well, anyone can already make bad music.

Or maybe I'm just in my greybeard "get off my lawn" mode today.

Everyone should make music. Singing to yourself doesn't make it valueless. Singing with family and friends provides great value.

You were sold a lie that only certain people make good music and you need to spend money.

Well, I didn't say any of that, so not quite sure what you're talking about.

>Everyone should make music. Singing to yourself doesn't make it valueless... with family and friends...

Yes. That was my point. Anyone can sing to themselves or with family and friends now.

But, I am guilty of not reading the article and grouped it with the spate of AI tools promising to enable anyone in a manner that gives them some marketplace advantage.

I see now that this is not that. They claim instead to want to help amateurs and first-timers get into music for the fun of it. More power to them.
