This is an interesting but wrong statement: > "It’s not really enjoyable to make music now […] It takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you need to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music." I'm also a musician myself (see e.g. http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=1317 http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=1317) and I have many friends who are (professional) musicians. Learning an instrument is a lot of work and sometimes indeed tedous, but I think every (true) musician can confirm that nothing compares to the joy when the band "clicks" and the musicians toghether experience the moment when great music arises. The only reason that (professional) musicians occasionally lose the joy of making music is their existential dependence on their profession and the pressure to get a decent income with the mostly low-payed gigs (if any at all). But that has nothing to do with the music itself. Tools like Suno are more suitable for and more likely to please people who have not learned the craft of music, and ultimately tend to lead to musicians having even more existential stress and thus losing the joy of music even more quickly. But we can't stop progress. PS: I'm surprised that and I don't understand why the post was flagged; it is definitely a topic that's interesting for "hackers", and as engineers and technology enthusiasts, we should not close our minds to the implications of our work.
