"flashing HP bar" type of vibe



I've been mucking about with Suno.

It is, sadly, quite good. It feel like it's the app that seachanges most people's relationship with AI music from "mild bemusement/distant job anxiety" to "eliminates an entire class of small commissions."

The weakest part of this package is the LLMs attached to it, because techbros are fucking morons and think their users are also morons. Users are first presented with an LLM that operates the two real handles of the model, a lyrics input and a genre descriptor.
Once you get to using those directly, you start to see the part where this floods the internet with content and forces you to develop a third AI detector in your brain next to the ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion radars.

You can put in your own lyrics and the singer you described will try to scan them as best as it can. The composition is often too repetitive or chaotic. The main thing is that texturally it seems to do more or less what I want in perfect mediocrity.

Genre-wise, I think previous AI music generators were guilty of looking like the aisle labels in a brick-and-mortar music store. "Rock," "Jazz," "R&B," "World". Suno is not like this. Its dataset draws from every internet microgenre. It flexes in your face by frontloading a literal random fake genre generator. New Orleans dubstep. Balkan brass band jazz. Kawaii ambient jungle. You can make any bloody thing vocaloid for some reason.

As a c.y.a. measure, you are wordfilter-banned from putting in the name of a known artist or album in any field ("Suno does not recognize artists or albums, only genres and vibes"), and are warned that any lyrics you put in must be original. This capability stinks of unsupervised learning, but you can't literally put "Avril Lavigne" in a prompt so i guess it's morally correct.

Fun times for bedroom musicians!!!
