AI music: I hated not hating this song made with Suno

Usually, AI-generated music is the sonic equivalent of watching paint dry. Yet, a track created with Suno AI has surprised even the fiercest critics, proving that maybe, just maybe, things are changing.

Alex Heath, a journalist for The Verge, admitted to enjoying the song 'Semiramis Dream' by 1010benja, which was entirely generated by Suno AI. This particular track forced Heath to confront a bitter truth: he liked it, despite his usual disdain for the tunes Suno typically churns out, which he describes as 'offensively boring'.

It's not a masterpiece that will change music history, but 'Semiramis Dream' has a certain je ne sais quoi. It boasts a consistent structure, a melody that doesn't make your ears bleed, and even an atmosphere. In short, it's music you could listen to without wanting to tear your hair out.

Suno is a platform that allows anyone to create songs by simply describing the desired genre, lyrics, or mood. Until recently, the results were often flat, predictable, or just plain... weird. Kind of like asking a child to draw a Ferrari and getting a red block with wheels.

The peculiar thing about 'Semiramis Dream' is that it manages to sound, well, normal. It's not a mistake, it's not a glitch: it's a track that fits into a playlist without making you raise an eyebrow. The track 'Semiramis Dream,' created by artist 1010benja using Suno AI, has become an example of how artificial intelligence can generate music surprisingly listenable.

Perhaps not yet for stadium concerts, but it's clear that quality is improving rapidly. The line between 'real' and 'generated' music is becoming increasingly blurred. Soon we might not distinguish the difference, or worse, we might not care anymore.

This whole affair makes us wonder: if an AI track can be 'not hateful,' what happens when it becomes 'good'? Purists will scoff, of course. But for the rest of us, who just want something decent for our playlist, the bar is lowering. It's a future where AI won't replace artists, but give them a new tool or, even more likely, become the artist itself, alas.
