The Vergecast · The problem with Suno and AI music · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

Because people will talk about how, well, now they'll use Suno to generate demos of songs even.

Maybe it's not what they're going to release.

But rather than go into a studio and rent studio time, maybe rather than hire a session guitarist, maybe rather than work with a second songwriter, they'll turn to Suno.

This is a well-known and well-documented problem in Nashville.

But now those that guy who was making a living, perhaps doing the occasional studio session and playing in a honky tonk in a bar band.

Well, he's just lost a significant source of income.

Right.

What does he do for the people who are at the top of the charts for your Beyonce's and your Taylor Swift's?

Suno at the end of the day is an annoyance because it is, let's be clear, stealing your music.

It is ingesting it and scraping it and turning it into ones and zeros for people to rearrange for their pleasure.

Yeah.

I mean, I've...

proven how broken their copyright filters are.

There's an article on The Verge.

You should go read it about how broken Suno's copyright filters are, in which there is an alarmingly accurate rendition of Beyonce's Freedom.

So, you know, for them, though, it is ultimately an annoyance more than anything else.

And if you're at the bottom and you are just playing shows at your local coffee shop because you like to play guitar and sing songs for your friends, it's not going to make a huge difference.

But that middle class, those people who are working, touring musicians who make a living at it, maybe not a great living, but make a living at it, they're in real danger.

It's the moment the vocals kick in, you can tell.

I think it's this is how this breaks.
