The comment I have written taken both examples during their eras of the respective advertisements. So it was what records did to orchestra players vs. what AI did to programmers. Good sound fonts, a good sound cards (DACs) and MIDI was already good enough to render complex orchestrations at impeccable quality since 00s. We're just seeing it trickle down to ordinary attic musicians' budget limits. I like Venus Theory's channel and videos for that reason. He shows what can be done with bog standard software of today, but it was already possible yesterday.
