Guys, I am torn - I do use Suno as a tool to help me get what’s in my head out to show my collaborators. Thus far it has worked well for me - yet I would never use Suno to create an entire song and publish it - I will re track everything and reject much of what Suno suggests - it’s just a tool for me. When the industrial revolution happened in Britain - they were many that fought against it - as it took hold many saw the opportunity this new world offered. While there is no direct complementary comparison with AI - the situation is very similar- the genie is out of the box and it ain’t going back in

If AI is used to mute real artists then that is as some have said disgusting - I am not advocating that at all - I don’t use a tuning folk any more or write with a feather - if it’s respectfully used by all then it’s just another helpful tool
