Suno is all fun and games for individuals, and admittedly can create some catchy tunes. Unfortunately, the service is unethical and might even be illegal, and in a way, using it is contributing to the goal of devaluing and dehumanizing professional music.
While concerns about devaluing professional music is valid, it's worth noting that new technologies often face initial resistance before finding their place in the creative ecosystem. The key may lie in finding ways to integrate AI tools ethically while still valuing human creativity.
It’s crucial to balance protecting artists' rights with fostering technological progress that could democratize music creation.
My Uncle sang in a Barbershop quartet and played many instruments. My mom was a music teacher, I took flute and piano lessons and was in the church choir that my mom played the organ for as a child. My Aunt and both grandmothers played the piano. My grandfather sang. We used to gather around the piano at family functions to sing. Before AI, I worked with a professional songwriter that also played music and was a producer.
While many people enjoy creating their own music, some don’t and might enjoy listening to this. It’s just nice to have another creative outlet. Just like writing, painting, crocheting, etc.
I’m personally not looking to make money with it, but I don’t judge those who do. I like the music I create to listen to while I work, but I still listen to professional artists music.
I think having this technology may help some professional musicians improve their craft. I also think that we will cherish live performances much more moving forward.
If they find that Suno is illegal and shut it down, I’ll re-direct my attention to something else. But for now, this is a good creative outlet for me and many others.
Thanks so much for restacking @JP Dávila
