- Of 35 hand-checked plugin repositories, 27 did not disclose AI use; eight copied a specific product, and none charged money.
Field notes
The report combines automated GitHub searches with a hand-checked index rather than treating repository metadata as proof of AI authorship. Its 35 listed plugin projects span instruments, effects, and MIDI tools; a separate count of repositories naming products such as Spotify or ChatGPT is explicitly not checked for AI. The site also cites press coverage and labels its account of trend timing as an interpretation, not a measurement.
