"In March, we saw the launch of a “ChatGPT for music” called Suno, which uses
generative AI to produce realistic songs on demand from short text prompts. A
few weeks later, a similar competitor – Udio – arrived on the scene.
I’ve been working with various creative computational tools for the past 15
years, both as a researcher and a producer, and the recent pace of change has
floored me. As I’ve argued elsewhere, the view that AI systems will never make
“real” music like humans do should be understood more as a claim about social
context than technical capability.
The argument “sure, it can make expressive, complex-structured,
natural-sounding, virtuosic, original music which can stir human emotions, but
AI can’t make
proper music” can easily begin to sound like something from a
Monty Python sketch.
After playing with Suno and Udio, I’ve been thinking about what it is exactly
they change – and what they might mean not only for the way professionals and
amateur artists create music, but the way all of us consume it."
