It's not. You're putting the cart before the horse (or attributing the horse to the cart?).
Contemporary music began using a click track because it makes techniques like sequencing, non-linear editing in a DAW, and tempo-synced effects far easier to incorporate. Click tracks and rock-solid tempo are also an aesthetic choice.
It's far more difficult to sync these techniques to a wavering tempo, so the trend has been for bands and records to conform to the click as the central authority for the pulse in order to unlock the benefits of the above-mentioned techniques.
The author's product allows users to slave the click track to the drummer's playing (which may now waver). This opens the door to real-time tempo-following by the click. The band can now push/pull the tempo AND use all of cool synchronized techniques in real time.
Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some of your posts (like this one) have been getting classified that way.
This is why most modern music is played with a click track.

I am not a musician but found this fascinating. Thank you for posting.
As an actual drummer, who has done studio work... this is not what it feels like at all.
Could you elaborate?
thank you.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
It was a good read. Thank you for your time.
I’m curious if you compared this against Ableton’s “Tempo Follower” and had any algorithmic (or subjective) observations.
You do sound a lot like an LLM lol

I feel like this is AI generated. Is this AI generated?
