Yeah. Totally. Yeah. You saw this with the Drake Weekend Ghostwriter thing. It's like, and it'll be good and it'll just get better and easier. That's not a good future. There's another bad future, I think, though, which is like, Music is meant to be social, but there's like a local optimum, I think, where music gets less social and it gets way too hyper-personalized.
And so I would hate for the future of music to be you open your phone, you open an app, you hit play, and it knows everything about you. It knows what you did this morning. It knows who you texted yesterday. And it knows your mood. It has your Apple Watch. It has your heart rate. And it just streams you endless music that only you're going to like that is just hitting that nerve in your brain.

It's like a drug. This is extremely antisocial. And somebody might do that also. I think that would also be a shame because it misses out on a lot more that's fun. There is an inherent tension between social stuff and personalization. And I don't want to make the hyper niche genre for only you.

no that's at least that's two you made it for somebody yeah like that is so much more social than what exists now where you listen to music from artists you love the music and you see a piece of yourself in the artist but you don't actually interact with them you making a song for your girlfriend is amazing you might say well i really wish you had spent 10 000 hours playing guitar and then you you know you could have done that without the help of suno but short of that like is it bad that you did that no i think it's actually great that you did that

I don't want it to be only that. Music is social, but there's something about art that's all about the artist. And I think a lot of artists won't even care what other people think of the music. It's just a world where that type of stream is just so pleasurable that you forget about everything else, I think is not as big or good or valuable as what could be.

Hemingway said, write drunk, edit sober. I think where this all goes is that, and this is a very natural progression that's already happening. Where does this all go? It's increasingly taste is the only thing that matters in art and skill is going to matter a lot less because you're going to be able to make a lot of stuff.

from the vast quantity of stuff and use in the case of music their ears to say that was good and that was bad that is accelerating a trend that already exists think about it like 30 years ago you wanted to be a rock star you wanted to be an amazing guitarist who could shred you know and 15 years ago you wanted to be a dj where you had to learn these pieces of software but maybe it wasn't quite as virtuosic as it was if you had to you know spend a hundred thousand hours playing your instrument and now people want to be influencers
