The biggest impact Generative Music had on my life was for wedding skits. Families that wanted a funny song about the bride filled with anecdotes didn't need talent anymore. The first time I heard it, it was incredible. The 2nd wedding that did it, it started to feel boring. The 3rd time, everyone hated it. Similar to image-generation, we're getting tired really fast of cookie-cutter art. I don't know how to feel abo…

3 weddings in a couple months, lucky you!

thanks, early 30s are exhausting haha

I got suno to render a song that I used to sing to my daughter when she was a baby. After some amount of fiddling, it produced something quite nice and for this I am eternally grateful to AI.

If you actually know some of the languages and you realize they are just singing jibberish (much worse than actual real songs), it's impossible to listen to. The instrumental ones can be great.

I love listening to African folk music. I don't understand the lyrics but really enjoy the music.

I've found some okay but listening to "meaningless" music doesn't sit right with me

Love the site, and impressed by what they generated there. With that said... I'm starting to feel like music might be the last thing to be affected by Generative AI. I IV V with different accents over the music and different drum sounds is fine, but thats not really music. It's pretty bad when you can pick out the chords progression in 5 sec. Cue the infamous 4-chord song skit by Axis of Awesome.

Suno is way more than that. Listen to the jazz tags or something, you're being way over dismissive here.

Honestly it baffles me at this point that Suno keeps trying to generate lyrics when everything else it generates sounds so good. All of these example get ruined by the most simple and boring lyrics imaginable. Poetry is an art and clearly the model doesn't yet grasp all of its nuances like it does for the rest of the "composition". At this point the only thing that gives this away as AI generated are the vocals.

Use GPT for the lyrics then, you don't have to use Suno for that.

It's probably just the lyrics, not the musical content. Popular music is mostly the same. It's clever lyrics and good meter that's more important imo. You can just dump something in from GPT or use Suno for it, but unless you spend some actual time on lyric composition, it will absolutely be campy as hell.

I had not known that this was AI until reading the comments here. I was really enjoying the 'anti-folk big band' station. Now I'm sure that's just a nonsense genre but that nonsense was more enjoyable than the stuff I've found on Spotify. I'm not sure what that says about me or the state of music but I did not expect it to be this capable yet.

Hmm, got interested on listening to that one station due to your comment, but couldn't find it anywhere.
