I just listened to it - IMO, complete removal of the vocal track would make for a better song.

I wonder if the AI is trying to tell us something with the song title. It's a little similar to "it puts the lotion on its skin". Perhaps the next song will be "Human runs from Robot" ?

The article says later that Suno "is currently in the middle of a blockbuster lawsuit with the Big Three major labels over allegations that their profits will dwindle to zero in the short term leading to the conclusion that new laws must be obtained to secure their revenue stream.

Warning: Reuters are ad-farming

Meta-comment: It's most considerate to put a link to a non-paywalled source - thanks :-)

Why not save time and fruitless clicks by simply omitting the paywalled source?

What proportion of people are expected to be able to read an arbitrary source of private news?

And even if I *could* tell the difference easily (I am maybe a bit too sure of my ability to detect the bland vapidness of GenAI-generated content...

You've got to give super-props to the way the music industry has been pumping-out bland vapidness for over twenty years. It's almost as if they had foreknowledge of the arrival of AI and that this strategy would enable them to seamlessly segue to AI-generated content.
Super *jumps in air* props!

I think he was probably correct when he asserted "AI will be a part of the way all games are made".

IIRC, he was using that idea (which is speculation) as a starting-point from-which to develop the more general idea 'it does not make sense' - logic fail FTW.

I'm more concerned with the bizarre attempt to cover-up the use of AI than I am with the use of AI. What do they know which we might want to?

Also, if they know something is going to damage sales if revealed, does it make sense to do it?

Why does anyone do anything? Complex reasons.

The developers know. I'd be surprised if they didn't talk.

for whatever graft and corruption on the the menu this week

I don't envy them - it must be a full-time job keeping track of it all.

They don't care - it's a number - it doesn't matter what the number relates to and it's you that pays the incorrect amount so yep - no problem.

... because when you're trying to watch YouTube on your phone whilst driving, your attention is pulled away to watch for speed cameras, traffic light cameras, road signs, the police and the driving examiner wants a bit too. How the hell are you supposed to do all those at once?

...because there's no pressure to encourage them to be anything else.

It's redundant to starty 'ridiculous and incompetent' when the context is a discussion about government.
