  This is actually amazing, and proof that AI will not take our creative abilities and render then useless, it will actually make sure that everyone has the ability to fully express themselves without limitations. You can write, but you can't sing, don't want to use autotune or vocaloid or anything that makes your voice slightly less shitty? Here's your solution.

  Will it mean that every kid with a laptop and no DAW experience whatsoever can now crank out crappy-to-decent music? Yeah. But that's a tale as old as time - before the computer it was a guitar. The upside is that that same kid with a laptop can now have a shot at striking gold as well. It will also mean that the ability of the pros will be supercharged. You put this kind of vocal tool in the hands of someone who knows how to properly EQ vocals, how to layer them, how to pan them, and how to effectively mix them and use effects? That person can now crank out both rough drafts and quality tracks significantly faster. I'm all for it!
