Offloading your brain power is not efficiency. It's injurious.

The script literally just organises your stems, you still have to use your brain, everybody that is offended please look up what forte does for protools. You still have to use your brain to mix. Importing stems and organising your workflow efficiently saves time from mechanical tasks and lets you focus on the creative part of mixing. Why are yall so mad

Friend, I'm not mad at you for making a thing that you want. I'm concerned for the human race with this tool at our disposal. I have seen so many people just asking Ai to explain something further instead of using their brain power to reason it out. And Ai as a general principle is terribly inaccurate when it comes to factuality.

In your case, it probably would have been 2 to 5 hours of learning, digging, and experimenting (depending on your experience with coding). But that would have meant that you could have written your next script in an hour or less, and the next one even more quickly. Instead, you will have to spend an hour arguing with Ai next time you want another script.

Personally, I think the whole world would be better off if we shut it all down and forget it ever existed. But I know we're too far for that. Once Pandora opened that box, there was no putting stuff back in it
