YouTube video by struthless How the algorithm killed your creativity

This quote from the latest Struthless video hit very close to home for me: "I hope you look at your your work not through the bullying eyes of the algorithm but through the eyes of somebody who needs it."

Again: I made a few keystrokes and pressed a singular button. To imply that anyone could infer some artistic greatness from this perfectly illustrates the stance that SUNO has towards music creation. Also, the writing is just plain cringe.

I did not "cook up" anything, I just typed in a prompt and clicked a button, which could not be further away from "main character energy". Of course they want me to share the track to friends... or haters (??) to let the world "vibe with your greatness"(??????).

For research purposes on AI music creation, I decided to play around with SUNO a bit. This E-Mail I recieved after generating my first track baffled me: #musicsky

I am neither pro nor con genAI. However, I am very critical of the companies wielding the power over it. The technology is impartial towards creatives - capitalism is not. It will shape the lives of artists going forward and we have to keep progressing to make better and more relevant art.

Since I don't have much of a following here to scare away, I will dedicate my presence on Bluesky to sharing my research on AI and creativity. My perspective will be focused on music composition, writing and photography, since I have first hand professional experience in those fields.
