Very cool. Been playing with Suno the past months and it is impressive. Though I find many of the creations are either a 2D version of Eurovision or some reflection on American pop, voices/accents are also limited. As someone that creates music I do find it cool as a playground but there is a fidelity of feeling that is lost in the output. Also what of all the artists who created music you listen too Andrew being replaced by AI generated music? What are the implications of this as a trend? Like with all technologies that become entangled in our lives we gain something and loose something too.
I'm 100% with you on the flatness of the creative output. I think it's interesting -- and in this case it's a great example of the human touch leading to a really good output as Jacob was deeply instrumental in every part of the process, down to selecting the final version.
In terms of what we stand to gain or loose, that's complex I think. As someone who deeply values the "soul" for want of a better word of human-created music -- what it conveys and communicates of the composer and how this is transmuted in the ears/mind of the listener -- I'm not a great fan of generic AI created music. On the other hand, as a creative tool it could be as transformative or more as the electric guitar, the Moog, the Fairlight, and much more -- all technologies that can enhance and extend the human at the center of the creative process.
... and then I remember all the soulless music that surrounds us already, and wonder if AI isn't improving on this ...

Dang that’s catchy!
Impressive. With that beat, I may listen to it while on the elliptical.
Can AI turn my 'song' into 'our' X-static Un Disco Dance party, is my emergent question.
