IANAL but I believe that AI-derived works are not currently copyrightable.

  also NAL I'm not sure that holds... there's no "anti-copyright". I can take the lyrics, the melody, and register something. How is suno.ai say I can't copyright it if they don't own it themselves?

    We won't know for sure until there's actual law or court decisions to reference, but until then, it's worth looking at something like the Monkey Selfie copyright dispute[1] for guidance. The article references a 2014 opinion from the United States Copyright Office > only works created by a human can be copyrighted under United States law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention ... Because copyright law is limited to 'original intellectual conceptions of the author', the [copyright] office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work. The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants The extension of this to AI would be saying basically that the copyright office simply wouldn't extend copyright of an AI created work to any party. In the case of one of these songs, though, if you wrote your own lyrics, you would still have the copyright to those lyrics, if not the full piece of music generated from them.
