I think antithetical to the idea of art in general would fundamentally destroy an entire industry like if we want to like if you're.
making music and listening to your music on suno that's why do we have musicians why is there a music industry why do we have other streaming services um that's like the the the very broad argument against it but i think going back to this art thing you know i wrote a little bit about
how nobody wants to tell me about why they listen to their own AI slop.
After that came out, some people did reach out to me and start to, you know, volunteer to offer some explanations.
Give me a little flavor of the case people made for doing this.
It allows them to create personal art.
It allows them to put their experience in song in a way they might not have been able to before for whatever reason that is.
It's a story and an argument that sounds good at first brush.
You know, it's hard to argue with something, somebody saying like, well, it's my art.
I didn't have a way to get it out there and it helps me or makes me feel heard.
It allows me to exercise demons or whatever.
And you're like, well,
Yeah, I I have a hard time saying anything bad about that.
But I would argue that that's not the point of art.
The point of art isn't to and the point of music isn't to necessarily allow you to exercise your demons for your own purposes.
It's not about spitting your trauma back at you.
It's about connecting you to other people.
The reason you like the music you like is because that artist makes you feel seen because you relate to them.
It's about building empathy and connecting with other people.
If you're dumping your diary entry into Suno about how you broke up with your girlfriend or you lost a parent and then you just like type a prompt along with it, like sad country song or alt rock power ballad, I'd argue that it's an exercise in narcissism.
