So I tend to work from a mix of hummed melodies and audio inputs and prompted chords, progressions, and styles.

For the latter, the ability of Suno to COMPOSE music feels neutered.

The audio quality however is a marked step up for me. It is barely noticeable on my phone speakers but in my car, using headphones, using Bluetooth... There's considerably more dynamic range.

I've remastered several tracks and one thing that stands out is that my voice clone used to sound janky in places and the remastered version doesn't. The remaster is also substantially honoring my input song, down to most of the accompaniment. It feels like there's something going on with high frequencies like noise in the

Does anyone know if V6 will wipe out our custom voices that became available in 5.5?

I kind of get the impression that it isn't really relying on the training sample to begin with so much as using it to fence in a set of coordinates, which I'd think could be translated into V6.

We all tend to get wrapped up in aspects of narratives in this debate that don't persuade. Rather than do that, I'd rather lay out where we are from my perspective in a way where my premises can be debated and hopefully persuade rather than just vent.

**I'm going to summarize the situation as I see it.**

With AI, there are two components.

There is the generative neural network technology. It was not wholly or principally created by OpenAI or the big 5 firms in isolation and it is not universally driven by them now. It actually runs on an affordable desktop in a reasonable amount of compute time. Nobody can afford the chips because the big 5 firms have monopolized consumption of the ch

Leftist pro here.

I don't think I generally have much issue processing arguments about consent or boundaries in most domains.

It just doesn't compute for me with the AI discourse.

First of all, I don't see how scraping or training are theft. But I also don't see how they are crossing any reasonable boundaries or even touching your work.

It's looking at something, taking a bunch of measurements to see how it works, and then running home of creating a guide to doing something similar.

It's the same thing as Syd Field watching a bunch of movies and creating a screenwriting workbook that made writing movies easier. It's essentially what every process oriented academic discipline does. A bus

This is one of those talking points that I don't get.

People will say:

Why don't you learn how to draw instead?

Or

Why don't you learn how to play an instrument instead?

I suspect outside of the biggest slop farms, the AI user targeted with these questions DOES know how to do one of those things. They might be low speed, not their own ideal style, or be interested in doing one portion of the job (figures only, no backgrounds). In fact, I think people who custom train models with outputs that don't resemble other people's inputs HAVE a style.

To me, it feels disingenuous.

Why do you want to play guitar when you can learn piano?

Why don't you write and cast a 25

Effectively, however simple a prompt is, it produces a quantity of something at some polished standard.

I see massive differences between multi-step refinement with reference material and iteration.

I'm starting to think a lot of people on the outside don't know this exists and default to this idea that there is no process when, in fact, there's just no process required but a process dramatically shapes outputs.

Most of the people I see doing decent film making have mountains of reference, style guide turnarounds, full scripts, audio samples, etc.

Did people previously not think screenwriting had a process or coding? You can theoretically do something flashy there from a minimalist input
