Hi folks, another shitty story from the slop-pocalypse ((AI-)slopalypse?).

Archive link

Article from billboard, archive

NB: I think this story is bullshit. I imagine some parts are true, but there's no concrete source given for the "$3 million" figure. So it's my speculation that this story is hype cooked up by Suno (the AI company enabling this all) and thrown at publishers for an easy headline. Also the human behind this has their name spelled differently in the two articles, so clearly some quality journalism is happening.

So...

What happens if Suno updates their software and "Xania Monet" is no longer possible? What happens if someone finds out what the seed for "Xania Monet" is and makes their own songs with it?

    I’m sure Suno would find some way to spin it.

    Suno might, but apparently the contract is just with some person who is using Suno to help create this, not Suno itself. So what incentive does Suno have to keep the voice? They didn't sign the 3 million dollar contract. They're not getting any money out of this deal.

    Edit: though there's probably not a deal at all, so there's that.
