i threw $10 into it to play with the new V3 algorithm much like dall-e it's wildly impressive at first glance and the more you bang your head against it, the more the cracks show it's very repetitive, doesn't often fit lyrics properly into bars, song structure often makes very little sense, the list goes on it is simultaneously very cool and incapable of accomplishing its goal reliably.

It's also a prototype, you are numb and spoiled by the speed of technological advancements.

Like with good art, you need to learn how to appreciate it, see it not for whether it can be useful to you for 10$, but for what it can be in the future with a cost structure so cheap they can afford to run it on 10$ subscriptions.

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)

Thank you for that! I needed the laugh!

Amazing!

I find it interesting that at https://suno.ai the prompt "make a song for your workout" IMO failed. It's a nice song but it's not a song I'd think of as "for your workout".

Not as amazing because it's only providing the singing but I've been pretty impressed with the Synthesizer V demos.

This is a Suno generation - https://on.soundcloud.com/SrcwN

It's funny/telling that it's seemingly so self-referential - the lyrics I can understand are about "synthetic harmonies", "mechanized cadences", etc. This is kind of like how >90% of NFTs was art referencing Bitcoin or cryptocurrency memes. Is it possible to make something about actual human problems/experiences with this? I'm guessing so, but this is certainly not a good example of that.

I do wonder how much of this stuff is going to flood Spotify and co. and make payouts to actual artists even smaller.

"A ChatGPT for Music Is Here. Inside Suno, the Startup Changing Everything"

My fucking god, I'm really disgusted by "journalists" who hype up everything so that they can get a few clicks. Journalism ought to be critical, objective and investigative.

It just launched and in 5 years it's going to be better than Sora is at making videos.

In the meantime, thousands to millions of writers/producers are going to use this to rapidly block out pop songs and rake in $$$ because they'll use it like the genius tool that it is.

Great, we need to auto-generate even more shitty art

suno v3 actually generates some really good music. most genres are more formulaic than people want to believe.

The real question is who is going to make the next new genre if there's no money in being a musician. You can't tell suno v3 to make a "grunge" song if "grunge" doesn't exist yet.
