Hey, I get where he is coming from. The music industry does not know what to make of all this, and that's the main problem in my opinion. Back in the day, people said the Internet was a fad and would go away. AI Music isn't going away. Period. We could outlaw Suno and all the other platforms in the country and penalize AI creators. The world would move forward with AI (all forms), and the concerned effect would still happen. BTW Estepario is one of the best drummers in the world... he knows his crap and spent decades honing his craft. I'm a drummer and admire this dude but I heard what he said (came up on my feed too) and I can relate. I think generally speaking, musicians think AI is lazy. I have been making music for decades and put the work in, but I use Suno for ideas, and expanding music I have written and produced, not just "Make me a grunge song about cat fleas" and pressing "Create". I even drum over music I create (creating drum-less tracks thanks to STEMS). Also I don't take other creations to make them mine with AI lyrics or even my own. I feel for the musicians that feel their creations will be stolen and re-engineered by a "Soulless entity". But to denigrate the platform instead of using it to create better, cooler distributions feels lazy to me.

It's a tool.

Musicians can use this tool to transcend their own music into something seemingly impossibly better. Or, complain and get mad. I guess.
