It blows my mind how well Suno works. It's one of the few products I tried lately that exceeded by expectations by a wide margin. As an amateur songwriter who is a bad singer, hearing its interpretations of my songs was beautiful. The implications of this for the music industry is pretty disruptive.

I would be surprised if Suno is very disruptive to the music industry.

It has extremely impressive output for a music generator, and it is very fun to play with - but people will always want to hear something new, and something real.

I don't think that music fans are going to connect with completely AI-generated music without a real personality and story behind it - and good, original music will always be more impressive to people and likely more successful than an AI-generated amalgamation of what already exists.

Robin Hanson recently said something to the effect that this might be the last era of human-dominated artistic production. As such, that works produced in these days -- these final days of the human arts -- might be especially prestigious and valuable in times to come. I believe it. Su…

Suno et al are trained on existing music created by humans. What happens when "real" musicians will stop publishing new material out of frustration because they will drown in a sea of AI generated garbage?

Exactly. This is a negative feedback loop. And it will render people stupid, fragile, overwhelmed and depressed. Only those who persevere this will be able to create something new, but rest of humanity will be melted in auto-generated content with less and less entropy

In the free tier, Suno owns all of the Output. I'm wondering when someone will make a song, realize it's pretty good, and attempt to recreate it after creating a paid tier account. Subject to your compliance with the terms of this Agreement, if you are a user who has subscribed to the paid tier of the Service, Suno hereby assigns to you all of its right, title and interest in and to any Output owned by Suno and gener…

Well the output isn't created by a human, so this concept of a license is invalid. You can't copyright something generated by AI.

Has this been tested in the courts?

Yes, famously the monkey selfie case.
