Obviously I had to try black metal version: https://suno.com/song/e00db515-6244-4197-ab71-c8f0555aaba4

Unless my ears deceive me, this render has the same mispronunciations and omissions as the OP sad jazz girl render.

music seemed really low quality to me as a musician. I wouldn't pay to listen to it

Who pays to listen to anything?

Aside the online part which is massive on its right own - live performances/concerts/festivals, etc.

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.

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?

This is the thing. Live performance is always gonna be different than something from pre-recorded or AI generated. That's why music lovers like to go to live concerts and performances.

Suno is great and I already shared my positive thought on its potential back in v2. I have always believed that the essence of digital music is "organized numbers". I think what needs to be thought about is how to use AI in this process. If you look at the results (numbers) generated, then we are indeed very close. But there is another future I believe: I hope AI can compose music with me, like copilot. This is why I…

glicol is amazing, thank you so much for it

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.

Not totally true. Yes, there's value in live performances and human connection but most of the songs we listen don't stimulate that. Hell, often we don't even know what the musician looks like, who they are, how they sound live, etc. They're just items in our Spotify queue that are only there to give us a dopamine hit with their sequence of well-composed sounds. There's a craving for a deeper connection but that's us…

If you are a little bit of a critical listener you listen to those songs because you connect to them somehow, that's the power of music, it's a language for emotions that you don't need to know how the artists look like, or their backgrounds, to feel what they try to convey. Having the context/background might help to intellectualise a piece of music but the feeling comes from the art itself.

AI music is pure entertainment, not art.

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.

Isn't that the real Turing test - does it feel like it has a soul?

While almost everything sounded really good and well put together, the voice itself has a constant... phaser? robotic vibrato? applied the whole time, which I found surprising. We've got better voice synthesis available already and other instruments don't suffer the same effect. I've not heard that before - does anyone know if that's specific to this model, or a more generic voice issue?

Yes, it had this GlaDOS-like timbre.

Seriously, the "creatives are screwed" narrative has fallen apart for me because the stuff made in AI has proven to be worthless. Why is it worthless? Because the point of art was to communicate or convey something with other people and the AI has no idea because its not human. A few words or a sequence of sounds can be enough to transfer great deal of feeling and meaning because we run about the same software and as…

This is mixing up art with the art industry. Artists will struggle just like copywriters are struggling after the arrival of LLMs. Not everything in the art industry is trying to break new artistic ground or communicate some deep emotion to the listsener. For much of the industry, "good enough" will suffice if it's 10x cheaper.
