Had good fun generating some 8-bit Bollywood electronica. https://app.suno.ai/song/e5c4214b-5851-4ae8-876b-6a99f2ca878... https://app.suno.ai/song/0425b83a-2fa7-4944-9ed8-ba554bd42c3...

Yeah, this was pretty fun! Here's rap about a duck trying to get chicken nuggets at McDonalds: https://app.suno.ai/song/27476a1c-ab35-4dbd-bf71-a9fa0aaa4de... I don't see a way to make anything longer than 20-30 seconds though.. or is that limited by the lyrics? Edit: with help of ChatGPT I got some more lyrics, but looks like this is as far as Suno.ai is willing to take it: https://app.suno.ai/song/1694f2a9-1375-4dc…

> But the nugget machine, it be shattered and deceased

LMAO

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Melody, beat, and production techniques are all ways to express meaning. Do you feel anything when listening to favorite music? Odds are that feeling, or something like it, are intentionally conveyed, even in instrumentals.

Sure, but I would experience the same feelings if it was produced by an AI.

Care to elaborate?

Music is a such a human thing, that getting an AI to create it, really kind of bastardises it.

I thought you meant "yuck" because the songs are all pretty generic and low-quality (very cool for AI though)

but this... I mean I dunno

I like some midjourney art more than a lot of "real" art

What's the difference? The medium used to create it? "Making music" = soft tissues in our brain VS "generating music" = hard transistors in a chip?

> What's the difference? Because humans aren't actually doing the generating either, the answer gets clearer when the question is something like, "are you making music, or telling something to make you music?" Replicators are a good analogy. Ordering a meal from a replicator doesn't make you a cook any more than giving Midjourney an order makes you an artist.

Replicators make from a prebuilt list. With these, you have to come up with the prompt. There might still be an art in the prompting.

It's just another tool - synths are computer generated as well, so what does it matter whether a computer or human decides to push the button?

At the end of the day it's humans that will use the tool and combine it how they see fit and it's humans that will decide whether it's any good or not ...

What's the legal status of ToS clauses about restrictions on what you can do with the generated audio? I'd have thought that AI can't own copyright -- what does that say about one's ability to monetize (under the free tier, say) -- are those prohibitions enforceable?

(I can make plenty of guesses myself, so I'm most interested in hearing informed replies with references rather than speculation.)

Do you think people would listen to Kanye if it wasn't Kanye?

I don't think his personality was really that much of an outlier when his music first became popular, so I'd argue that empirically the answer is yes. From looking at Wikipedia, his first album was released in 2004 and charted at number 2, with his first single hitting 15 on the charts and his follow-up being number 1. I don't think you can argue that he was famous enough for anyone to be listening to the music becau…

Nobody needs to know who the artist ahead of time is to connect to what they say (instrumentally or vocally). The art does the talking.

I largely agree that if you don't know anything about music but generate some stuff with a very-high-level AI tool then you are unlikely to produce anything that resonates with people for any significant amount of time.

If you do know something about music (say, producer- or other-tastemaker level) and you replace the artists with an AI tool - you could have much better luck - but I'm curious there how much longetivity you get. Could you create the next star or the next trend or will the tools not have the ability to "break the mold" in ways that really connect to audiences and new generations without being used by newcomers themselves?
