This is such an insane take. Imagine being a music artist releasing an album and saying “I don’t have to listen to other artists anymore because I have my own personalized music”. Music, whether it’s made by humans or not, is pretty much the exact opposite of that. It’s meant to be shared, passed along, influence and be influenced.
Besides, it’s really weird to me that AI bros keep trying to sell this (or other gen AI tools) as the ultimate replacement for actual artists and actual creativity. It doesn’t have to be. I’ve had an on-and-off active subscription on Suno between v3.5 and V5, and honestly it’s fun. It’s its own kind of experience that has little to nothing in common with actual music making. It’s entertaining to very quickly make stupid songs about your friends and family or come up with lyrics and see what it does with it or mix the craziest genres you can think of. There is even creativity involved if you use it with a creative mindset, as in its own ways it can force you to think a bit more intently about things like genre or rhythm or metric. But at the end of the day I never once thought to make my silly experiments available commercially, pass them off as my own, use parts of them in my own music, or anything of the sort. It’s so easy to draw the line, yet there is this constant push to blur it.
I make funny songs for my wife and friends on Suno. We all share a good laugh. But when I listen to music in the car or at home, I want actual humans. So I’m with you 100%.
