It's not about that - at all.

I have yet to see (hear) an AI write that wouldn't get ya shown-the-door if you put your own name on it.
(But the melodies are top-notch - so that - using the melody - could be happening. You still have to be capable of a pro-level lyric to put on top of it.)

This is posted in the wrong forum.
This is about production. Mostly demo production.
I sincerely wish I'd had SUNO for production while I was in Nashville. Demos (in the 90's) ran $400 a pop (for truly "competing" demos).
And when everyone is writing multiple songs a week, SUNO must be a godsend (demo production-wise).

Floyd, I'm pretty clear regarding your viewpoint on AI with what you said about not commenting on anything I put in the showcase that you suspect contains AI whether it's the music or the vocals.
This article simply says the pros are using it whether they admit to it or not. Maybe even some of the songs on your deep dive list have AI origins.

If you haven't seen any top quality lyrics from an AI / human collaboration, you're not paying attention or it's actually so good that you didn't even realize or recognize it as AI.

And no, this is the exact forum this post needs to be in. The topic is writing songs using AI assistance, and how that's being done by professional songwriters in Nashville. It has nothing to do with production and everything to do with writing.

And then you close by saying you sincerely wish you had Suno back in the day when you were trying to get a cut while you were in Nashville.

I'm puzzled. Are you still adamant about not using it or are you considering going to the dark side


Edit to add: maybe you should consider working with AI on your songs. It will open doors, let you see possibilities, and help you break out of the old patterns. If it doesn't, just grab your pad and pencil and keep on going.
