It will of course work to homogenize the sound of music further in the future (which is kinda boring).

Since it's been around in the production world for a few years now, I assume it may exist in the world of music consumption too, though I haven't been paying attention to it there.
Somebody has to write the code for AI-based EQing. It would be interesting to read the results of their clinical hearing tests. Interestingly no hi-fi (remember that )? audio reviewers ever publish results of theirs. It’s been suggested to me, by a high-end audio salesperson, that ultra expensive moving coil cartridges have a response curve tilted up in the high frequencies to compensate for treble hearing insensitivity in those rich old customers who can afford them - analogue hearing aids ?.
