Microsoft Copilot Gets a Music Creation Feature via Suno Integration (techcrunch.com) 15
Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft's AI-powered chatbot, can now compose songs thanks to an integration with GenAI music app Suno. From a report: Users can enter prompts into Copilot like "Create a pop song about adventures with your family" and have Suno, via a plug-in, bring their musical ideas to life. From a single sentence, Suno can generate complete songs -- including lyrics, instrumentals and singing voices.
Copilot users can access the Suno integration by launching Microsoft Edge, visiting Copilot.Microsoft.com, logging in with their Microsoft account and enabling the Suno plug-in or clicking on the Suno logo that says "Make music with Suno." [...] AI algorithms "learn" from existing music to produce similar effects, a fact with which not all artists -- or GenAI users -- are comfortable, especially in cases where artists don't consent to having an AI algorithm train on their music and didn't receive compensation for it.

Perhaps ask AI chatbot to imagine such greater horror for you? Expand the limits of your imagination with AI!

You have a serious lack of imagination.
I can't wait for Microsoft to get sued over this (Score:2)
"Copilot: write a song in the style of the Beatles"
If the song is any good, Paul McCartney will sooo sue Microsoft for copyright infrigement.
And if Paul McCartney doesn't do it, some other musician or record company will do it, because if an AI can successfully mimic a musician's style, it means it's been trained on that musician's music, almost certainly without paying royalties for the use of that music.

Probably not, if you donâ(TM)t release the song, but just play it for yourself and close friends. My favorite new Christmas song this year was created by suno.ai btw, if they get the song length to 3 minutes and the sound quality a bit better, I wouldnâ(TM)t mind listening to it a lot.

I dunno, man. There's AI Metallica and Megadeth parody songs up everywhere right now. If anybody's gonna go sue-happy, it'd be Lars & Co. And with Megamave, it's a matter of which drug he's on at the moment whether he's sue-happy, or "everything's like, free for all, man."
Still, I'd set my watch on Metallica. If Lars lets it slide, everybody will. Unless the AIs get much better at impersonating a band than they are today. We'll burn that bridge when we get to it, I'm certain.

Pop music is an ideal target for AI (Score:2)
Much of it is designed to be comfortable and familiar, using and reusing simple, classic forms, over and over
People who consume that product seem to prefer it that way
Current AI cannot invent truly unique stuff, and if it did, pop music consumers would hate it
