I use Suno on occasion. I enjoy writing poetry, and being able to turn it into a song is something I find fun and inspirational, driving me to write more than I have in decades. I could never, ever write a chord of music.
I don't share it. It's just for personal gratification. If it's super good maybe I'd share with some friends in discord who are super into AI. Thing is, part of a song might be super good, but I've never had an entire song turn or the way I want. And I've found no one ever thinks a song is as good or interesting as the prompter.
AI is like the cheap consumer goods of art and thought. Cheap, but not quality or durable. It works and looks great if gently used, but as soon as it gets any real pressure or scrutiny, it falls apart.
I think it's likely, if we continue down that path, to be the artistic equivalent of IKEA vs a master woodworker. You can buy an end table for $30, or you can but something hand crafted from teak and mahogany for $3000. A lot of people like IKEA, but if they weren't around a nice end table might be $600 and be heirloom quality (if not as good as the $3k one). But today that middle market doesn't exist. Rather it does, but it's filled with IKEA quality shit dressed up to look a bit nicer temporarily. I don't know, maybe my analogy fell apart.
I'm just saying that these things are fun and interesting on an individual level, but I agree they shouldn't be commercial. We should just make it so that there are no enforceable rights granted on anything AI produces. It can be freely copied and distributed. But that doesn't help real artists make a living. And their work should be appreciated and respected (and result in a lifestyle that affords them the ability to keep making art).
I don't agree with the use but at least you're keeping it private. Not gonna crucify you because I understand the appeal. I'd encourage you to find a way to pay for it though, or even just start making a donation to some environmental cause as a way of off-setting.
That's a pretty reasonable ask. I do donate to other things I use like Lemmy. I like your suggestion.
