Suno: Music with Heart

Suno is an instrument – what matters is how you use it

Many people attack AI music. Tools such as Suno make it possible to publish large amounts of songs created quickly and cheaply with a few short prompts. Many people call that music “AI slop.”

But AI is, first of all, an instrument. For me, the question is not simply whether someone used Suno. It is how much effort that person put into their song.

Did they enter a short prompt and publish whatever came back? Or did they bring their own ideas, voice and melody? That is the difference that matters to me.

My experience with Suno: singing myself and bringing my own melody

When I made my song with Suno, I did not simply write a cheap prompt and leave everything to AI. I sang into it myself and made my own melody. My ideas and my personal involvement were part of that song.

I also know people who work with Suno and put real effort into it. They write their own songs and use AI to help with grammar, for example. The ideas, the lyrics and what they want to express come from those people.

That is why I think it is wrong to put everyone in the same category. Using Suno does not automatically mean someone typed a few words without making an effort. Some people put a great deal of time and heart into their music and use AI to support them.

It is not just about whether someone used AI. It is about how much of that person is in the work.

For me, original ideas, effort and heart matter

That is why we should look beyond whether Suno was used. We should also look at what the person contributed: their ideas, melody, voice, lyrics and effort.

A short prompt and an unchecked output are not the same as a song someone has sung themselves, written their own lyrics for and worked on with heart.

AI is an instrument. What someone does with it, and how much of that person is in a song, makes the difference to me.
