I have been messing around with suno a bit, try and see what the tech is like.
Technilogy wise its pretty insane how it can work like it does, you dont need to give it much and it makes something. The feat in itself without thinking about artistic implications, is mighty impressive!
Artistic implications though, can it be used, is that a bad thing?
For instance I have made a couple of things, where Im like thats a good riff or solo, id like to learn that. Whats the views on whether it can be used as a writing tool? Lyrics also it can give a base that you can modify or change to suit etc.
Im not totally sure how I feel about that, but I can see its application, but sure it muddies the waters out there in the artistic marketplace.
Here is an example of something it made, where I thought I need to figure that out to play along
Ona note, I have tried to look for the best place to put this, never saw an Artificial Intelligence area. This forum format is incredibly difficult to navigate to find different sections!!!
Iâm really torn on this. On the one hand, AI is unavoidable going forward - in pretty much all parts of our lives. I hope there will still be a want and need for real music, performed by real people.
From a technical point of view, the AI generated tracks that Iâve heard are quite impressive. But itâs hard for me to get excited about something that is inherently âfakeâ (IMO).
Where I think it might be useful is for idea generation. Perhaps have an AI come up with some songs or riffs, then take those in a real band, with real people (replacing all parts) and tweak them until you have an actual original song. But I donât want to hear any trace of AI in the final product (maybe thatâs naive, but heyâŚ)
Youâll never do that with Generative AI. Itâs, fundamentally, based on copying existing work.
All you will ever get with this technology is âderivativeâ material. Any originality on top will need to come from humans. And, IMO, that will need to be considerably more than âtweakingâ it a bit.
What are your thoughts about Go Move 37? I think AI might be able to generate unique and âcreativeâ solutions to some problems, depending on how you define âcreativeâ of course. Whether this can be applied to music I donât know , but I wouldnât rule it out.
(maybe thatâs naive, but heyâŚ)
