Deleted the Suno AI video

Hey. The original video was: (Untalented SUNO Button Pushers Just Got REKT). I have now removed it. But I want you to know the original title and video for full transparency here.

First. The word «Untalented» in the title of the video was wrong of me to use. Because, some users of Suno is talented musicians. Of course!

My main issues in AI (Suno) are not mainly with the actual technology itself. But with the way Suno have sourced their data from. It’s shady business scraping sites on the internet and I don’t believe the artists that have gotten their life’s work taken by Suno are so happy about people first of all giving Suno money for it. And not seeing anything in return. This might change later hopefully.

Also I do understand if you are a paying user of Suno that just got a worse product with lesser downloads. That it’s unfair.

And then we have the spam issue on DSPs, but that one I think most people can agree with being good that it’s controlled more. Giving more honest people (and also those using AI as a tool) a better shot in the algos.

Ultimately I am all for creativity and if AI is going to be a part of it then so be it. For me this is about having fun, enjoying the ride, and I will definitely re-think the way I make videos on topics I am very passionate about.

And using insults in titles as a way to get views and clicks. Yeah, no. I apologize about that. You are 100% right about that. That’s not what this channel is going to be.

Hope this clears up some stuff. Let’s make awesome music and thank you for being here if you still want to.

Not my video, but I think everyone who releases music should give it a watch! The music distributor system is not great.
