Playing with Suno: The Rain

A song made with Suno using a poem.

What are your thoughts on Suno? I know the idea of using AI for music, let alone writing, is often frowned if not hated. I looked at it like 3D printing. How much hatred does that deserve? Having a machine handcrafting your items for you? Should you sell it as your own even though all you did was guide the machine?

That’s what I see here, I wrote the lyrics but the machine “3D printed” the song to go with it. This would be more like a “demo”, to me. An example of how the song could sound if an actual musician made it. There are certain aspects you can hear missing from the song that a human artist would add to it. The AI almost always sounds like it is rushing through the lyrics, it doesn’t linger on the instrumentations and the voice only ever hints at emotions. But, either way, what is your opinion on the song, and generative music, itself?
