I appreciate the extensive research and data trawling that went into this. It does seem inevitable that tools like Suno will have a dramatic effect on the future of the music industry. Unfortunately, I am not hopeful that it will be about "thoughtful collaboration" as much as it will be about dehumanizing and devaluing human-made music until music is no longer a source of motivation or inspiration and has had the soul sucked right out of it. I just published something about this, triggered by some comments made by the Suno CEO: https://deeplywrong.substack.com/p/music-is-too-difficult-for-techbros

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah my take was definitely more on the optimistic side of things. I'll make sure to check out your post

Great stuff, I definitely learned a few things!

When you say AI is likely to disrupt traditional workflows in music creation, is that a bad thing? Music creation has already become a highly technical and collaborative process, a far cry from the traditional singer-with-a-guitar. The way I see it, AI is just the next machine in the room, offering new possibilities and tools for artists to explore.

That's a good perspective, my position in disruption was more along the lines of respecting the original author's creativity and work, there's definitely a lot of work to be done in that area.

I have so much fun creating with Suno 4.0! I put my favorites I’ve made into a playlist so I can enjoy them over and over.

I’ve only made 23 songs so far, but my music is as diverse as I am 🙌 I like most genres and plan to do as many as I can. Except for Country, I’m not a big fan of that one.
