I don’t solely rely on Instagram for this. My more expensive VSTs, the complete Korg Collection, I purchased after owning Korg Gadget for a while.

But if I see something cool for 20$ on instagram, why not?

I don’t like C++ or other low level programming languages.

I guess I could now vibe code something, but then the comments would chastise me for that.

I probably do have enough VSTs at this point to sit down and actually finish a project. But ehh.

I think advertising can be ethical. It just needs to be honest.

Who gives a shit? You use AI to vibecode a tool you use to make music...cool, if it works for you and you make cool music with it, good. Honestly, nobody would even know, unless you disclosed it.

A filter is a filter is a filter. If you built one by writing all the code yourself, great. If a LLM generates the code for a filter, and you use it in your tracks, cool, it's likely nobody could even tell.

Make music for yourself my friend. Nobody will care how its made if it's cool music.

Exactly, and I prefer using instagram VSTs.

Last night I wasted 30$ trying to vibe code a midi tool that doesn’t work. Many of the same externalities that apply to social media also apply to AI…
