This is awesome!

Holy s***.

this s*** makes me wanna die man ngl

if i catch any one of you jamming out to these songs

@umg @sony @warner kill yourselves

Maybe we’ll finally get good music now

From Timbaland to the people who are apathetic to it, the one reasoning I’ve seen boils down to “fuck humans anyway”. Just ghoulish and soulless all around. It’s also telling that early supporters who are actually in AI fields are the main ones cautioning people against where this is going now

I would love someone to give me a good argument for AI music even if you don’t believe in it. Genuinely. I don’t understand the concept aside from the obvious benefit of making easy money for the labels

Why is everyone trippin it’s not like a rapper would use a dead legends voice in a diss track or anything

Thank god we’re all going to get nuked in a couple years 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

AI should be used for tech s*** not art

If 2pac was alive AI would be working at McDonald’s

AI 🔥🔥

Being used as a creative tool during the creating process is one thing. Taking a music track and being able to isolate certain elements of the track that we couldn’t before. I don’t even mind the idea of generating samples through AI that get manipulated by a human.

But the idea of all AI generated music is greatly disturbing to me. And you’re right, one of the worst parts is that these people believing they’re at the forefront of something, aren’t coming at it from the mindset of creation and innovation, but rather greed and bitter indifference. Using this technology for resentment and monetary gain, while having a complete disregard for what makes music have its soul.

u just want ur avi posted w this one brother… i almost took the bait

Most people are against this but here's what Timbaland (creator director of Suno) had to say about AI music.

“I just love innovation. I love things that can take what I’ve been doing for 30 years of my life and make it better.”

“Suno is the tool – it’s the tool to turn your music into something that you have never heard,” he says.

Everything y’all use is like AI, from Auto-Tune on down,” he frowns. “When Auto-Tune first came out, it was a tool. That’s what Suno is – the best tool of the future. It allows you to get any idea in your imagination out of your head.”

He also waves away worries about AI replacing musicians in the future: “You still need that human element to operate this tool. It doesn’t replace anything. All it does it add to your arsenal.

The attack sometimes lets you know, like, OK, we’re onto something. We got something special. I understand it comes with some some stones thrown.”

I don’t think timbaland has any good intentions with this
And even if he did this is something that will only contribute negatively towards musicians, so it doesn’t matter, and he should be well aware of that

AI music has already impacted all of your favourite artists and hits both mainstream and underground its already over

I wonder if he would say the same thing if it was 2003 and he was one of the biggest producers on earth or if he is just seeing an opportunity to get in early on making money
