A little feedback i hope the Suno team sees. Took me a long time to figure out how to play the songs. Hitting play at the bottom didnt work. Eventually I figured out to mouseover and hit the arrow play.

Cool tech demo, not even close to a level quality I'd consider paying for

It would be interesting if it could generate accompanying sheet music so artists can then turn around and record it

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?

You don't have much control over what is being generated. And if you did want to have fine control then what would be the difference compared to just dicking around on a synthesizer? A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too. After all, you and the ar…

I agree about music. When it comes to girlfriends and therapists when the medium is text the connection could be faked with a large corpus and RLHF. Keep in mind that some people already have inflatable girlfriends. It aint pretty but may serve some purpose for disfunctional people. I’d get more worried if it becomes a bigger thing.

When it comes to chat therapy, it could be an interesting mode of self discovery. My only worry is if the goal is to attempt to replace therapists altogether.

>Are you making music, or generating music?

> You don't have much control over what is being generated

I don't understand this nitpick at all. What part of "make" implies fine-grained control over the output? Parents didn't have much control over what's generated when a child is, but by any reasonable definition of the word "make", the baby that comes out is "made" by the mother and (to a lesser extent) the father!

I think you might be assuming that your experience generalizes a lot more than it does. I've been a musician for decades, and I'm constantly listening to music, and I don't need to know who did what to be able to enjoy a song. To be clear, there's nothing _wrong_ with that being part of your enjoyment, but there's nothing wrong with just liking to hear sounds that sound "good" without caring about where they came from.

A fun way to use this I discovered by accident: ask ChatGPT to write a song for you. (You can use a longer prompt, and get a text version of the verses and chorus.( Paste that into the “Custom Lyrics” UI to get a musical version.

I see too many companies jumping on the Text2Song train and not enough on Text2Midi… Come on, leave a bit of fun for the poor sound designers!

Don't you think simply knowing it was an AI would mean you can't take it seriously? Or do you think this is just a cultural thing that will fade away in coming years.
