AI music has ruined the coffees shop experience. I love working at cafes and heavy-handed enforcement of copyright law has led to every cafe around me playing AI music, over and over and over. It's so demoralizing.

Ofc the overzealous music associations play a heavy role here too but AI music is not the solution

I'd take AI music over radio with ad breaks after every song.

What's the copyright situation with music models? I was always under the impression that it will be political pressure and lawsuits by the existing labels that will be the biggest hindrance in the adoption of AI music models, rather than technical progress, which I do not doubt will inevitably make superhuman music, if it is not already better than the average pop song.

Working for me, it's just been hugged to death. Taking ages for the actual track to download for me.

Quality is like... Suno v3? Maybe v4 if I'm being generous?

Same here, but they’re gradually rolling it out since many users are slowly getting it under Tools.

I tried it with a few of my Suno prompts and it seems way behind Suno v5. Which is especially surprising because It's 5 months newer!

This is impressive and a perhaps an unsurprising competitor to companies like Suno, who have raised a ton to build music models.

The music sounds great, but there's a reason most of the samples are non-english. Human songwriters aren't going anywhere as long as AI remains this god awful at lyrics.
