Tracks very well with something I saw recently, that the biggest fans of and users of generative AI for writing (and in your case music) are people who want to write a book but never got around to doing it, not people who want to read and pay for books

Yes, I have no commercial interest when it comes to music, it's just something I find joy in. Using Suno did not detract from that joy. If music is a hobby, Suno is an incredibly fun tool. DJ's and producers have been getting hate for years. "It's just a guy with a laptop on stage", "he isn't really playing those instruments", etc. Or think of a band leader, someone who composes but doesn't actually play the indiviud…

So long as the music is just for you and never published, I wish you well

People were listening to slop long before Suno.

So let’s encourage more slop at an accelerated pace? That’s our answer to everything huh. We’ve been doing “arguably bad thing” X, so let’s amplify it.

Let people have fun.

AI slop, yadda yadda, I get it... But I just want to say, as a former failed bedroom producer who just doesn't have the time (and skill) to make the kind of music I want... I had a BLAST using Suno. I was able to "remaster" some of my old tracks, add in new sections, etc, and isolate/download/edit the stems. I understand it's not fully my creative output... but hearing one of my old, shitty, ableton live projects rem…

Suno is one of the most stunning products Ive used. Theres going to be an explosion of people making comedy/meme music with it no doubt. End of the day I think music is about enjoying yourself(even the catharsis in sad songs)and its clear to me that suno only helps people do that.

Nah fuck this. Suno is slop.

I have come to understand the usage of "slop" as possibly the sloppiest thing of all: Something that looks like critique, if it were not so entirely devoid of content.

Wait until you find where the modern use of "slop" (as opposed to its original meaning before a few years ago) came from

Nah. Categorizing all AI as slop lacks nuance and demonstrates a shallow understanding of art

Categorizing AI generated media as anything but slop demonstrates a shallow understanding of art.

So you must really hate collage artists. All they are doing is cutting out images and pasting them into new images. Picasso really produced some slot I guess. You seem to have a very rigid definition of "art".

This is a nice toy and for sure great entertainment, but even with user aid it came out with generic slop. I can't see artistic value in this.

Yeah I was expecting to hear something decent at the top of the article, but the vocals sound like they suffer from severe mp3 compression.

It is the absolute "sloppiest". It's just become a lazy ill-considered critique worth nothing.

I think part of the point of it, as a thought terminating cliche, is that it's usually used to critique something that is commensurately fatuous.

That has nothing to do with AI, which itself is categorically and noncontingently "slop".

I think as an artist, you need to make art that has value to you, not to your audience, because you are a representative of your own perspective on the world, not someone else's.

If the artist finds the output to be something that has meaning to them, and helps them categorize their feelings towards the world, then I think that's valuable art. It doesn't mean I'm going to go buy that album, but I'm glad it was made.
