5: Uploading - Users can upload audio material, which naturally
represents a source of panic among big publishers because they
fear people can upload part of a hit (currently max length is 2
minutes) and use it to clone big name artists, which 1: can be
done in other ways, and 2: is far from being the most fun way
to play with the feature, and could be a source of legal problems
although, I repeat myself, there are multiple ways to do that,
both inside and outside of Suno.
Here's how I used it: any of you recall of that C64 game called
Commando with that really catchy soundtrack by that genius called
Rob Hubbard? Well, I spent decades waiting for the day I could
play it in real life, but never could with my old bands, so I
grabbed the game audio, edited it to fit the most relevant
parts into 2 minutes, and turned it into a disco-funky song with
slap bass et al plus AI generated lyrics celebrating the old
times playing 8 bit videogames. Yep, it works on chiptunes too,
and it is damn fun.
6: User support - next to none. They reply to all mails and
bug reports, but as you can easily guess it's all AI generated
and contains lots of boilerplate text; however it seems there
is something that takes notes about bugs, so it might be
still worth reporting them. However I asked them a couple times
about song moderation with a very specific question about
potential trolling, and ther mail AI kept replying about
writing PG-13 lyrics while the problem was completely different.
Specifically, I asked if I publish a song with political tone,
I mean, nothing inciting violence, offending or anything like
that, but of course strongly biased, what would happen if a group
of trolls would report the song as inappropriate just because they
don't share the same ideas and want me silenced?
They kept replying about a moderation team, an I replied back that
in case the team is an algorithm, then it could be easily gamed,
like a bunch of flat earthers could silence a scientist just
because of mere numbers.
Still didn't receive any meaningful reply on the subject, so
I'll keep my profile private for now, possibly sharing my
song elsewhere. Better be sure before risking to lose everything
Google/Youtube-style.
I'm sure I forgot something I'll recall later; in that eventuality
I'll add that on this post. What are your experiences with Suno or
other AI music generation services? So far it seems Udio offers
much better sound quality, however it's still limited to 2 minutes
(I'm aware of concatenating pieces, but it's not ideal, not even
on Suno), but they progress at such speed that everything could
change from day to day.
