"...It takes a lot of time (and) practice...(Y)ou need to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software..."

Well, yeah, duh dot com -- that's why it's CALLED "work."

To paraphrase the writer Dorothy Parker, "I hate the PROCESS of creating, but I love the OUTCOME of it." Whether you're trying to come up with a song, a photo, a photo book, a cake, a touchdown, a cost/benefit analysis, world peace, plumbing that no longer leaks, an illegal drug, or a tire rotation, ANYTHING you aim to create as well as possible requires work. It's the END PRODUCT for which you get to take pride, generate respect, and possibly earn money -- the destination, not the journey!

...Suno AI works like other popular generative AI tools, allowing users to generate music by writing text prompts describing the kind of music they want to hear. Also like many other generative AI tools, Suno was trained on heaps of copyrighted music it fed into its training dataset without consent, a practice Suno is currently being sued for by the recording industry...

And with all due respect to the music industry's reaction to AI music, shouldn't the actual music creators get an equal slice of the pie?

IS it merely a coincidence that AI can also stand for anti-intellectualism?
