AI Music Companies Don't Want You To Know This
I’ve come across something pretty intriguing about AI music generators that doesn’t usually get much airtime. Tools like Suno and Udio are gaining traction, but let’s be real—their journey isn’t as breezy as it looks.
Quick note: I’m not connected to these companies. Just sharing my honest thoughts. If I were them, I’d prioritize using user data wisely.

The Secret Behind AI Music Generators 🎵
Here’s the scoop—AI music tools aren’t quite hitting the mark just yet. Even with clear directions, they often trip up before finding that sweet spot.
Let’s look at Udio for a second. They mainly churn out short clips—30 seconds tops. They get it: creating a full, quality song isn’t easy.
As they scoop up user feedback, companies like Udio and Suno learn what strikes a chord with listeners.
We’re still a ways off from fully automating music. But with enough user input, who knows? We could stumble upon something great.
👉👉THE KEY TAKEAWAY: Your likes and dislikes shape how the AI creates. This can feel like a blessing—or a bit worrying—depending on your perspective.

The Bias in AI-Generated Songs 🤖
If you're hesitant about using these tools that reflect human thought, they might not be for you.
But here's the reality: People are still going to use them.
The catch? AI-made tracks often mirror user biases, rather than capturing a broader audience's tastes.
Picture this: out of 100 users, maybe only one has real musical know-how.
Everyone craves good music, but what stands between AI and genuine artistry? It’s all about grasping what makes music "good."
The Lyrics Conundrum
When it comes to lyrics, this bias really shows.
You might feel that AI-generated lyrics are solid.
But stack them against songs written by pros, and the flaws become clear. Not every chart-topper is a gem, right?
Some people enjoy simple four-line verses, but the hits typically have layers and depth.
Remember: Those AI tracks might resonate with some, but they often miss the magic that makes a song truly timeless.
A Word of Caution for Aspiring AI Music Creators
The bottom line? Your choices guide the AI’s creative journey.
Some see this as a threat; others as a way to make quality music more reachable.
If you’re diving into music, brace yourself for AI's influence in your craft.
But here’s my take: I won’t ditch these tools. Creating original music hasn’t guaranteed success for a while now—unless you have the right connections and resources.
Change is happening, with or without us.
