I don’t use AI in songwriting or recording/mixing. The closest I’ve come is asking Copilot to give me 5 lyric themes (then the full lyric writing is mine) and twice I think I have used Copilot to suggest some lines when I was running dry and needed another verse. In one song, I uploaded a 5 second vocal to Resing and got it to convert it to a female voice, but that’s it.

I write all my own music and lyrics and do all my own production and arrangement, and BIAB can be anywhere from 10 to 100% of the band. Vocals are always my own. I’m not a great singer or guitarist, and I step out of my comfort zone regularly when recording these. I prefer the idea of the human behind the music and even if that human is flawed, I like the idea that an imperfect artist has created a song with their own imagination and with the tools and skills available to them. AI results (e.g. Suno) are certainly impressive, and I understand why it is attractive for a writer to hear what it has done with their song that they couldn’t, but for me, I place a higher value on what I can do myself, even if it might not seem as polished.
