I don´t think so...
What do you think when you look on the GUI of the plugin why are the A and I in the product label so different to the other letters??

Quote from baby Audio´s TAIP product page:
...
The most faithful tape emulation plugin yet, based on machine learning
...
AI-modeled tape plugin

We used machine learning to faithfully model the sound and non-linear behaviors of a classic 1970s tape machine. We then deconstructed these characteristics into separate features that can be combined in new ways to create custom tape flavors.

Maybe ‘aliasing’ is not the right word, but I can’t get it to process the highs in a pleasant manner no matter what, it will sound brittle. Like the bias of the tape machine is all the way counter clock wise.

To each their own of course.

Yeah, I just checked again. Didn't sound like aliasing to me. But anyways, there are better saturation plugins.

The highs are an awful mess. I did use a vocal preset on a pad and it was a gooey, miraculous river of sound.
This is what Google says about Taip:
Baby Audio's TAIP used a AI neural network by training it on a vast amount of data to learn the complex sonic characteristics of analog tape, rather than using traditional methods to model components. This allows the plugin to accurately capture the "tape sound"—including nonlinearities and saturation—by understanding how a real tape machine transforms audio signals. The AI is a core part of the development process, not an on-the-fly user-facing feature.

so it was made with AI. It's not AI.

That´s already enough AI for me to let it fall into this category... 8)
