MAX CAVALERA On AI-Generated Music: 'I Don’t Give A Shit What People Say. It's Not The Same'

"Can you trust your ears to tell man from machine when it comes to music? Most people can't, it seems.
In a recent study by the streaming platform Deezer and market research company Ipsos, 97% of respondents could not tell the difference between music tracks made entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) and those made by humans. In other words, AI-generated audio is really convincing.
And it's already everywhere, including on the Billboard charts: "Walk my Walk," from Breaking Rust — an entirely AI creation, from instrumentals to vocals to image — reached number one on the country digital song chart in mid-November. Then there is Xania Monet (whose video you see below), a similar virtual artist with Gospel and R&B charting singles who was recently signed for $3 million (€2.6 million) to a record label. And this summer, the band Velvet Sundown garnered 1 million Spotify monthly listeners before revealing itself as a "synthetic music project."
At first glance, it might seem that listeners are welcoming AI-generated music with open arms and ears. But the truth is muddier. The same Deezer study found that 52% of respondents were uncomfortable about not being able to tell the difference between human and AI music.
So, how do listeners feel when they know a piece of music is AI-generated? Some studies have found that they like certain types of music less. Other studies, including one by Philippe Pasquier, the director of the Metacreation Lab for Creative AI at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, have found no bias for or against AI-generated music.
Part of this is because generative AI can be used in a myriad of ways that are not always clear to the listener. "It depends on what AI is used for — composition, interpretation, mastering — among other factors," Pasquier explained in a written interview with DW."

"Every two weeks, users on the AI music platform Suno create as much music as what is currently available on Spotify, according to Suno investor presentation materials obtained by Billboard. Those users are primarily male, aged 25-34, and spend an average of 20 minutes creating the some 7 million songs produced on the platform daily, according to the documents and additional sources.
Suno sees a future where, as it expands its offerings, creators and listeners will not need to leave the app to create, stream or share their music socially. The goal is listed as creating “high-value, high-intent music discovery” and “artist-fan interaction.”
Now, Suno might have the money to fulfill that ambitious vision. Suno announced last week that it had raised $250 million in a C fundraise, led by Menlo Ventures, with additional investors including NVIDIA’s venture capital arm NVentures and Hallwood Media. The round brings Suno’s valuation up to $2.45 billion.
(...)
According to an estimate by Forbes, Sora costs the company as much as $15 million per day to run. According to Suno’s financials, reviewed by Billboard, Suno has spent over $32 million on training its model since January 2024. That breaks down to $32 million spent on compute power and $2,000 spent on data costs — meaning the cost of content, like music, which it uses to train its model.
Suno is currently in the middle of a number of lawsuits concerning the data on which it trains its model. This includes two class action copyright infringement lawsuits, filed by indie musician groups; one lawsuit from Danish rights group Koda; and one from German collection society GEMA. Most significantly, however, is the copyright infringement lawsuit filed by the three major music companies, Sony, Universal and Warner, against Suno for $500 million, claiming widespread copyright infringement of their sound recordings..."

"“A Million Colors” by Vinih Pray has become the first-known AI-generated song to hit the TikTok charts. Currently sitting at No. 44 on the TikTok Viral 50, the doo-wop inspired song was generated using the popular AI music platform Suno, the company has confirmed.
While this marks the first AI-generated song to hit the TikTok charts, there was one previous song on the TikTok charts that was human-made but contained an AI-generated sample. In the summer of 2024, “U My Everything” by Sexyy Redd, featuring Drake — which sampled the AI-generated song “BBL Drizzy” — peaked at No. 2 on the TikTok Top 50, but the most common sound clip used from “U My Everything” did not feature that sample.
With over 371,700 creates on TikTok, 819,745 streams on Spotify, 161,000 views on YouTube, “A Million Colors” sounds so realistic that it has fooled a number of unsuspecting users. One of the most popular celebrities on the platform, Kylie Jenner, recently posted a makeup tutorial with the AI-generated song in the background, earning her 1.5 million likes.
Some TikTok users, however, have started catching on. On “A Million Colors” sound page, a number of videos are being made by users to call out its use of AI. This likely traces back to a popular video by @americangorls, who wrote in a post on May 10 “this song having hundreds of thousands of uses and I haven’t seen anyone talking ab the fact that this is 100% ai is freaking me out a little. am i crazy[?]”"

This argument is so, so lame...
"The interviewer, Harry Stebbings, interjects while Shulman says the making music isn’t enjoyable and compares it to running, another obviously challenging thing that many people enjoy getting better at over time.
“Most people drop out of that pursuit because it’s hard, and so I think that the people you know that run, this is a highly biased selection of the population that fell in love with it,” Shulman said.
It’s funny and frustrating that Shulman can’t (or pretends he can’t) connect the dots and understand that the process of learning and challenging yourself is part of what makes music inherently appealing. During the interview, he repeatedly says that Suno can grow the music industry to be as big as the video game industry by making it more accessible. This, of course, ignores the fact that video games are designed to be challenging, that the most popular games in the world are incredibly competitive and difficult to master, and that most video games are essentially the process of slowly getting better at a difficult task."

Schon erstaunlich was die Musiker aus Bits&Bytes da heute so selbständig in Sekunden raushauen. Man schmeisst denen drei Zeilen Text in die API und.... ZACK!.... Song ist fertig...
