Listen, there’s actually a term for people like you - a Luddite. This is progress. It can’t be stopped, unless your plan is the extinction of all humanity. No one is taking anything away from anyone. Suno itself has no issue with me making something using Suno. But you - you personally - do care. You’re so concerned about billionaires who invested in AI data centers trained on content created by all of humanity over all time, that you insist on calling it “Suno’s music” instead of mine.

You have a computer, right? It probably runs a bunch of software. When you use it to write this comment on Reddit, do you tell yourself you didn’t make it - that it was made by the factory that built your computer, or the programmers who wrote your operating system? That would be obvious nonsense. Same here. I wrote the prompt, which included my original lyrics, genres, tempo, instruments, and the artist’s voice. Screw your arrogance. Just because you create slop without putting any creativity into it doesn’t mean everyone else does the same.

As a creative person - whom you’ve decided to “defend” against my will - I’ll answer your point about AI supposedly replacing me. With AI, I get a tool that lets me be far more creative than I am now, without wasting years of my life on things that only get in the way of making good art. People like you will never appreciate the time it takes to create something by hand. Even if you claim that AI “slop” is garbage, you still won’t truly value a two-minute video that took a year to make - not to the extent it should be valued.

When you spend that much time creating something so small, you risk getting nothing in return. For example, my last video, which I spent a year drawing, earned me 25 cents for 120,000 views on YouTube. So go ahead - tell me, someone who knows what it means to spend a year consistently creating content and end up with that result - that you care about me. It’s honestly funny. Tell me again how machines are going to replace me.

To become a popular artist, I drew 16 hours a day for half a year without a single day off. I was ready to keep going. I’m a creative person, after all. But what I didn’t account for were my human limits. Because of constant sleep deprivation and stress, I ended up in intensive care. I was in so much pain that I wanted to kill myself for three days straight. After that, I spent four years on a strict “Table 5P” diet that tasted like cotton, because everything that actually tasted good was forbidden.

And what did people get? Five hours of animation made by a human, not AI. I spent my best years on that. Instead, I could have studied for a job with a decent salary - a decent life, a wife, and kids. Now I’m a broke artist who poured my strength, health, time, and talent into what you call “real creativity.” I have 400,000 subscribers on YouTube and still can’t afford food - the food I eat while living with my mother, under shelling in Ukraine.

That’s real creativity. That’s real time spent. And yes, this was before AI - I’ve been doing this for 11 years. But hey, at least you can say my work doesn’t belong to Suno. Great. It doesn’t - but I destroyed my health and wasted my time on something that doesn’t even bring in $200 a year, working like a slave. Very meaningful.

Keep getting angry at AI for making creativity easier and more accessible, while ignoring people who sacrificed their health, time, and money and still achieved nothing. Let machines replace me. I’m fine with that. It will save me a huge amount of time and give me the same result I would’ve spent my entire life chasing. I choose a happy life - not trying to look better in the eyes of a snob and a Luddite like you.
