I have to say, I completely lost it at the whisper '(The "Software")' (0:18)... give this tech another year or two and it will be better quality than your average radio song.
Here's my attempt at humor, there is something about his short sentences and speech delivery that makes them very suitable for ballads: https://suno.com/song/9f731225-8844-44f1-9325-4078cf53c729
If this was an actual person performing, I would have smiled all the way to the end. Since this is AI-generated, I feel no emotion towards this, and just listened for a few seconds. It's technically interesting.
Someone making a "proper" song where they just sang these words would be quite boring, then I'd rather spend my time checking out other music.

I don't think I can endure much more AI slop seeping its way into my life.
To me the feeling of AI generated content is less "slop" and more "in-flight magazine". It can have a surface sheen of quality that you can lure you in, but you realise it's devoid of any vitality or soul.
Only time will show if the next step will happen anyway. My gut feeling tells me that AI art will gain acceptance over time, and we will just think of it as "art" or "music", just as we did with recorded mysic and synthetic sounds.

Art will realign to put more value on live performances. Don't worry, people who push AI art don't understand that art is a form of communication between humans. They might learn when the bubble pops and they are left with a trillion shiny "art" objects that are worth nothing, because nobody wants to look at them.
Depending on the popularity and your income, the experience of a artist life is really not that intim as you make it.
Obviously I had to try black metal version: https://suno.com/song/e00db515-6244-4197-ab71-c8f0555aaba4
Asked ChatGPT first to convert the license to poem: https://suno.com/song/bdad5f22-a1f0-42fb-a3d8-572d289687ea "Publish, distribute, let your dreams take flight, Sub-license, sell, under stars or sunlight."

When recorded music was invented, musicians protested. Recorded music was devoid of any vitality or soul. Recorded music still became a hit. Then we got the synthesizer. Again we got the same complaints, lifeless and without soul. The synthesizer still became a hit. Now the next step is happening, and we see the same complaints all over. Only time will show if the next step will happen anyway. My gut feeling tells me…

I don't quite get why this is downvoted; it may not be the absolute truth, but in my personal anecdotal experience, there is quite some truth to it. I have had a lot of fun playing around with image generation and chat gpt. But have also had the non-surprising "Hedonistic Fatigue" that comes with excess access to something originally valued. I have now been able to generate 4 and 5 digit numbers of pictures of awesom…

What if you didn't know either way? Would you refuse to enjoy a song, until you were absolutely sure it was performed by a human?
If a friend recited a poem, would it matter to do if they read it off the Internet or composed it themselves? Of course it would.
If someone tells you they love you, does it matter if they are a robot or an honest human or a con-artist human catfishing you? YES, THAT MATTERS TO YOU. Yes you "refuse to enjoy" things that have suspicious sources.
