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.

I'd be curious to hear your reasoning behind this? Why does this being computer generated ruin it for you? Auto-tune has been around since 1997 so it's not like computers have not been a big part of a lot of music we hear every day.

Because the cause of a person singing is their mental states (desire, emotion, intention, etc.) and the cause of this generation of audio is that the words are associated with some backcatalogue of previous music.

Listening to songs, as speaking with people, is in large part about enjoying the causes of the song rather than the mere variations in pitch.

Beethoven's 5th even, purely instrumental, is enjoyable because of how the composer is clearly playing with you.

To generate pitch variations identical to beethovens fifth makes this an illusion, one hard to sustain if you know its an illusion. It isnt an illusion in the case of the 5th itself: beethoven really had those desires.

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.

I don't think I can endure much more AI slop seeping its way into my life.

Suno links have already become what grey screenshots of ChatGPT were just after it came out, listened to a few at first and now I just keep on scrolling.

What if you didn't know? You wouldn't know whether you like it until you've learned more about the artist?

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.

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…

I'm going to assume that like me you're not an artist, or at least not the kind of artist who can generate 5000 dungeon pictures by hand.

I've been thinking about it the same as you but something that I think we're missing here is what can the person who can already make 5k pictures by hand do with this kind of tool?

It makes me think of the later albums that Frank Zappa produced with a Synclavier. That guy went hog-wild on that thing and banged out some unbelievable albums.

What would he have been able to do with AI generated music technology if it was the Synclavier of his time? What are the Frank Zappas of our time going to do with AI?

Interesting that it messes up "fitness" in all versions.

I agree. "sublicense" is also pronounced wrong or in a dialect I am not familiar with.

I know of no dialect that pronounces it like the Suno AI.

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 usually the smaller part of our everyday consumption.

Sorry to disagree, we already crossed the line where the "Her" movie could turn into a real story. To say it more clearly: It won't take a long to see people even having affective relationships with AIs.
