Hot take: Everyone should boycott suno

Done. Don't use it or even know what it is

The people that need to be told that won't be reading this

This is like the coldest take I've ever seen.

WTF is suno?!

How is this a hot take? This should be normal.

Even if this c*** wasn't all stolen. I am not interested in generated music or any content like that. The reason I consume art is because I want to see what the human mind is capable of and how someone's inner world is expressed through art, music, etc. Even if generated content sounds good (I don't know, don't care tbh), I don't want to support it.

not really that hot of a take but the more people push for this the better.

I grew up in the 80’s. I am stunned at all the studio technology now. But computers are programmed to the level of about two years old. They have no soul or life experience. AI is great for simple tasks like indexing a huge database. I see nothing that shows AI will do anything more. Music requires so many things that AI sucks at it

Done! What's Suno?

The market is so saturated. It's a f****** cultural mess

I don't know what Suno is, but if you type the word "people" out just one time, OP, you have my promise that I will never use or support it

Suno can f*** off into the sun. The people who intellectualize it can smother on the moon.

I want Spotify and other platforms to require an AI tag.

Honestly the people using Suno aren't getting royalties from it anyway lol, it's mostly just people messing around. The real problem is when labels start using it to cut costs and replace actual artists

This take is cooler than the last ice age.

I was emailed by a recruiter for a staff engineering position for them. Told them to f*** off. Unbelievable that people aren't ashamed to admit they work there

What's suno?

easy; nobody knows what that is

While I agree with you it’s kind of like yelling in the wind. AI in general is advancing and getting better rapidly, and the vast majority of the *general* population doesn’t really care even if online spaces would have you believing most people are super against AI. And Suno isn’t the only one other models are adding the ability to make music as well. Gemini (Google) for example introduced music generation a little over a month ago and it would generate a 30 second song in around 30 seconds, and they’ve already updated it to generate a nearly 3 minute song in around 30 seconds just off a quick prompt you type that rivals Suno.

I hate Suno and music AI generation, but i have a take about it : \- As Suno is gonna produce mostly things that are in the current trend or past trends (Hyperpop, Drill, Pop, etc), i guess it's just gonna make the meta of producing trendy music kinda irrelevant, and will push artist to push their own sound and artistic direction, out of the meta. Don't get me wrong, i am not saying it's a great thing, but i guess it will actually give a second life to a lot of small producers who have their very unique colours

Da fuq is suno

Absolutely, the demonetization of published synthetic audio created with the any AI should be the first thing that happens. When you can use the tools correctly, it doesn’t take away from the human experience.

"a human can't have the ability to take stuff from millions of songs and then make a song in just a few seconds" yes they can, that's how tonnes of music is made. that's how i make music, usually. "And music is natural we should not let artificial things take over it" music is natural? maybe it started that way, with birds and wolves and whales and bullrushes in the wind knocking on a hollow log. but now it is not natural, it is man made and guess what, so is ai. if you think we should not let artificial music take over, fine, remove 99% of music and enjoy what is left. "using ai is a disrespectful for all artists" i am an artist and i do not feel disrespected by ai at all. ai can't make me feel any way. it's just a computer doing math to make music, that's it. "we collectively should boycott suno and the ppl who use suno" go ahead. i will not. "let the ppl who deserve earn the royalties and not some guy with no effort and talent" hey, if listeners like what is produced by some guy with no talent and a computer, who am i to say they are wrong? i think there is a lot of c*** music out there, but i don't say people shouldn't listen to it if they like it.

No shade. But ChatGPT already stole from all YouTubers and authors. The cat is out of the bag already

Ha no, it's far too fun and enjoyable My mental health and enjoyment of life is far too important to start boycotting things that help, and yes you've probably been trained by the modern media to only want to consume the mentally harmful stuff that big labels produce in their corporate music factories so you're going to tell me that doing else is immoral, I hope one day you learn to understand how ironic that is and recognize the music industry for what it is - a poison targeted at your soul by rich corporations. And yes I know that they probably put a label on your favorite bands to say their totally Indy and not corporate but the whole industry is broken and corrupt and dangerous to your health.

I replaced Suno with ace step 1.5 Runs local and isn't a paid service.

How else would you define Akai MPCs, drum machines, samplers, and DAWs if not machines? Do you naively believe that all "artists" put in the effort to create their songs when they have ten people from the label doing it for them? Are you aware that perhaps 70% of established artists also use AI?

honestly, it’s not that simple. new tech always feels weird at first, it just depends how people use it tbh

Do not cling to a world that doesn't exist anymore.

U think using sunon takes no effort? sure it CAN be used that way, but it's not the only way people use it. We've been using artificial sounds for decades already. so that argument is blown. lyricists can have vocals and music to their words. singers can have words to their voice. and ultimately, people will jam to whatever sounds good. they really won't care how the music is produced. as far as I can tell, the low effort lazy ones are obvious and eventually boring because they sound very similar since people use the same prompt over and over or sample their old tracks. people like having custom music for their videos. especially meme videos. no need to deal with copyright strikes because someone said copyright free but gets revenue taken eventually. there are benefits of it. but my stand on it is that the artists should be paid a royalty. like, U want a xxxxx sounding track? okay, here is AI that can do it for U but any music generated from it has to be partially paid to said artist. I think that's fair. and any artist that ops out cannot be used to train AI.
