Grant it I don't play an instrument, but just sayin' ... I know professional songwriters, are using Suno now to create demos for pitching ... AI is here and not going anywhere ... it is a tool for many songwriters, esp those that are lyricists only or can't sing or even create a melody for songs. I know what I hear in my head is not what falls out of my mouth. 😁🤣

Hello, Marilyn, if you come back... or if anyone else has a comment on this, would like to know... so you say that you think professional songwriters are "using Suno now to create demos for pitching." So, is this just something you heard someone say or what? Do you totally trust your source? I would badly like to know the answer to this. If what you say is true, it's truly a game changer for someone like me because I do recording sessions with pros and it ain't cheap. It's awesome, very much so, but it's costly.


See CTthomas' comment as well. Yes, pro songwriters and indie songwriters upload their work tapes to Suno, it's their lyrics and their melody, and suno creates a song which songwriters can then pitch for artists' recording considerations. But you have to let ppl know it's an AI demo. I know songwriters who have tons of lyrics and can't afford the demo costs of 300 and up continually. And there's no guarantee that the costly demo is gonna go anywhere anyhow. At least using suno you can make changes at your own convenience and at little cost. It's also great to use for ideas, etc. It's a great AI tool as well. AI music has been used in commercials already.

I guess if we think about it, ppl have been using other ppl's music to train themselves for decades on copyrighted works. Ppl play songs by others to practice their instrument or vocal skills, etc etc. And use other artists' musical influences to produce their own, and may sound like. We love the flow, the emotion, the cadence, etc. We try to mimic but make it our own. Am I wrong in my thinking? lol 🤔

All I know is that AI is here to stay, in whatever field, whether it's the arts, academia, or even in chat applications.
