I love this sentiment about "top 10" radio. If only it was so. That's the stuff that's on everywhere, all the time. Grocery stores, cafes, etc etc. hell, I list

I love this sentiment about "top 10" radio. If only it was so. That's the stuff that's on everywhere, all the time. Grocery stores, cafes, etc etc. hell, I listen to it on YouTube. It's like junk food. It's bad, it's good. It's better than AI, even this incredible mindblowing suno thing. Production value counts.

Will it be better than AI six months from now, that’s the question. My money is on “no”.

  At least the classical world is safe. They want no part in AI.

    I think it's a lot better at classical, orchestral, and instrumental music than it is at anything requiring vocalization. I created this in less than 20 minutes: https://app.suno.ai/song/eb93c25b-bdbe-4c9f-8e03-66e9479c869b/ https://app.suno.ai/song/eb93c25b-bdbe-4c9f-8e03-66e9479c869... I need to stem it, fix it up a bit, and remix for stereo in a DAW but it's much better than I expected for my first ever piece of music. Obviously it'd take a lot of work to create a Hans Zimmer level OST from the tool but IMO it wouldn't feel out of place on a Ludovico Einaudi album or on some Spotify or Pandora classical radio.

      That's actually a very good piece. Like something I'd hear on late night Paradise Radio. If I was creating an indie movie on no budget I'd be all over this technology for the soundtrack. I don't think musicians and composers are going to disappear as a consequence of this technology, in the same way that theatre actors were not made obsolete by film. What I do think is that a whole new category of professionals will be created - musicians and composers who get paid to train AI models. I bet it will pay better then the laughable amounts that are streaming royalties.

    At some point in the future, wanting no part in AI-generated content is going to be like that old Onion headline. "Area Man Constantly Mentioning That He Doesn't Even Own A Television".

Quality isn’t the only factor though. Music made by people has copyright which means grocery stores and coffee shops have to pay a license fee. There’s certainly a point where this synthetic music gets good enough to replace the elevator music Muzak crap that they have to pay $2000 to license.
