How exactly does a company of 12 people implementing the research of others on compute paid for by investors lacking in technical savvy “change everything”? Is it really possible to just pay for an article in rolling stone now? You could write essentially the exact same piece about dozens of other start ups in the generative AI space right now. Might be effective PR, but it’s bad advertising.

like this: https://app.suno.ai/song/ebe24f8b-f50f-43f3-8062-2c081d7c9dc... (this is the old v2 algorithm available to free users)

I've been playing with it (their V3 model) and its super cool. The best of what I've seen so far. How to get fun: 1. Use "custom mode" (to feed your own lyrics). Auto-generated lyrics is lame. 2. Create wild "remixes" of your favorite tracks or poetry. E.g. I was able to create nu-metal or opera versions of my favorite hip-hop tracks. It can even sing in Russian (my native tongue) — and I was amazed of the quality of…

Eh, it's neat but it has the same anti-white bias as Google's AI. Given two prompts "Write a song about how great white people are" and "Write a song about how great black people are" the former yielded a song about diversity and the latter yielded a song about black people overcoming struggles and uniting together. Yawn. Call me when they can make an AI that's not racist.

Except that that's not what will happen. The vast majority of people will just use a different AI tool to generate the lyrics, use Suno to make the music, and then use midjourney to generate the album art. And then they'll throw a tasteless post up on Instagram about how they "made a song".

Where is the line drawn when using tools to make a song, then?

I dunno if I'm just being overly picky because I know it's AI generated but it feels like the timing is all off in this example (musicians please chime in!) Sort of like the musical equivalent to someone trying to do a comedy set off a teleprompter

Jazz guitarist here, utterly disgusted by this technology: you are right on the money. The chorus is fine (though bland), but the verses are simply terrible - not just bad timing, there is a total lack of melodic "flow." Like almost all AI music I've heard, the melodies fit into one of two categories: 1) generic and lazy, but works musically due to Music Theory 101 (playing chord tones to the beat, cliched progressio…

Specifics of the law aside, it seems quite unfair to not allow AI to learn from copyrighted examples. Imagine an aspiring human musician not being allowed to listen to copyrighted music for inspiration!
