Speaking of unconventional opinions, I have come to believe that while being composers and artists we are also product developers and salespersons, because market economy.
Our customers have voted for a big "no" on using AI in our music. Please don't fight the market.
Dear Mr. Metausa,
Suno exports MIDI and stems.
…
You know what's 'unconventional'? Experimental music. The unexpected, in music. Granular synthesis. Odd time signatures. Microtonal music. You know what's NOT 'unconventional'? To use a product you KNOW is built out of millions of artists' work, harvested without consent, entering it into a competition dedicated to artists, with cover art A REAL ARTIST made for YOU OUT OF PASSION, and walking off with somebody else's slot. We are angry because you stole from the very people you swear you are one of. This was never a matter of "AI this, AI that."
And yet you apologised to nobody. Not the entrants. Not C4Cat. Not crayonii, who made that art for free, for you to submit, and was never told Lunavion was AI slop. Every person you harmed has to live with the fact that THEY lost to AN AI GENERATED PIECE OF SHIT.
There was no clause on generative AI because there never needed to be one. And yet you went looking. Nobody goes looking for a ban on something they consider right. Plus, if the method is truly irrelevant, there would have been no reason for your name to be on that audio file. And "judge the product, never what went into it" is not a producer's position. It is what every industry built on stolen labour says when you ask who made the thing and what it cost them. That is not being 'unconventional'. That is being a hypocrite.
You are a disgrace to musicians.
