They all are basically the same, but about different cities.

Like the Hartford, Connecticut song, which has the same cadence as that Puerto Rico song now that I'm hearing it, Jack.

Now, most listeners after hearing that don't know that it's AI, but he used Suno, the biggest AI music startup, to create it.

And Jack, why is it perfect timing for a Suno-generated song to suddenly go this viral?

Because Suno hit a $5.4 billion valuation last week after a big fundraise.

That's one lift.

We're talking a company four years old, making $300 million in annual sales on 2 million subscribers who create 7 million new songs per day.

That is insane.

I mean, talk about AI slop.

It's creating 7 million songs per day.

And one of them has gone viral thus far.

But all of them are facing a huge lawsuit now.

That's right, because Suno is accused of using 61,000 real human-made songs to train their AI without the artist's permission.

Warner Music, Universal, and Sony have all sued Suno because of the reason the Puerto Rico song has gone viral.

Because Suno's AI probably fed its models some Beach Boys, a little bit of Jimmy Buffett, maybe some Madonna to hit those high notes.

And then it told that AI, pump out a song that's those three, but don't pay any of them because... So it is unclear, Bessies, if sax boy Billy is making money on his number one TikTok jam, but Suno definitely is.

And the guy who wrote that one hit wonder...

the Pina Colada song, definitely hasn't made a dime.

Rupert Holmes, we see you and we shout you out.

So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies enjoying the song of the summer?
