That was interesting.

AI vs human.... Man it's downright vicious on social media in the songwriter and musician groups. The discussion is generally anti-AI but at the same time the majority of songs posted are obviously directly out of one of the AI models with the poster claiming they wrote at least the lyrics. Reading the lyrics, yeah that's probably not the case either.

According to Suno, if you are a subscriber, you own the copyright and since there's really no screening from the copyright office I don't see how you couldn't register an AI generated song with the LOC.

Personally, I see it as another tool to use in the songwriting process. It's not going to go away. In fact, it will continue to develop skills and keep getting better day by day. Just look at synth voices. A little over a year ago those things were nothing short of fake sounding and cringe worthy. However, now, they have come so far in a year that they have capable of fooling the listener who is now wondering who the singer is on the song.

Technology is always changing and nothing will reverse it. You don't have to use it if you don't want to but it's going to be adopted, adapted, and used by other musicians and writers in their work.
