Hey everyone,
I recently experimented with AI tools like Claude for lyrics and Suno for complete song creation. The result? Two songs — "Detroit Dreamer" and "Fountain of Youth" — were created in under 30 minutes
, with surprising quality and emotional depth.
That got me thinking…
🤖 If I didn’t write a single lyric or play a note, is it still my song?
💬 I’d love to hear your thoughts:
Do you think AI-generated songs are truly original?
Is it cheating… or just a new kind of artistry?
How should credit and ownership work when using tools like Claude or Suno?
Could this technology help or hurt real musicians?
Have you made music using AI? What was your experience?
🎶 Whether you’re curious, cautious, or already using AI in your workflow — let’s start a healthy conversation.

I love SUNO! It's fun to mess around and modify lyrics until my heart's content, but it's pricey for the PRO version...like $100 for the year, all upfront. I'd have to make a lot of songs and want the ownership rights, I think. Free version for me. As far as ethics go...I'm cool with just creating songs for myself. I use Ableton for my creations, and I'm not going to change. Real music for real people!
It’s wild how far we’ve drifted from the human element in music. What used to take years of practice and real-world performance can now be done with a midi keyboard and a few plugins.
I remember when people first got their hands on DAWs—they’d program some MIDI loops and call it a masterpiece. Sure, it technically counts. But could they actually play it live? Doubt it.
Now everything’s pitch-perfect, locked to grid, polished to death. It sounds clean—but where’s the soul?
And now we’ve got AI spitting out entire tracks. No emotion, no life, just pattern-matching.
Use the tools, sure. Just don’t take credit for something you didn’t actually create.
