The first drum computer with "real" drum sounds was the LinnDrum (OK, the LM-1 was earlier but it was short-lived and far too expensive). Could it replace human drummers? Well, when it was launched in the 80's I read about it in a magazine where the need for a "RHS" button (which supposedly stands for "real human shitty" or something similar) which introduces slight deviations from the mechanical precision which is inherent to digital machinery. Drum machines are simply too precise, they never miss the mark, always are exactly in time and with that lack "character". See that button as the opposite of a "quantise" function, something to introduce "character". Nothing is keeping anyone from introducing a "RHS" switch for generative AI. Tune it to the way your favourite editor or writer messes up things and voilà, a paper written by a very non-human generative model which fools the reader into thinking it was written by one to whom errare humanum est comes natural.
