Why is music so much easier for AI than code?

I recommend you look into Gell-Mann amnesia.

> It seems that music is so hard, why is it ai has already surpassed us there but not in code? Seems that code is easier.

I note by this that you don't seem to have experience in music? Because in that case, you are not equipped to judge the quality of the song at some levels beyond a listen.

The same way that someone not technical can't judge the code output of the LLM and will just be impressed by the functional output (i.e. is the site working)

Not certain but being a programmer and a musician i can guess. Theres certain trends about a pop song, tempo, drama, layering, effects, they can mimic hits, use predictable verse/chorus/verse/chorus/tag, etc. I think AI is great at code as well, completely runs circles around me in many domains.

Popular music follows well known recipes.

Pick a scale and a tuning, a rythme signature, some chords and a progression , some random melodic pattern, a set of instruments that fit the target genre, and it will sound okay.

Now, it’s much harder to make original and musically interesting music.

Bot post.

Seems to me that both music and language fall into the same category of "patterns whose consumption will trigger a highly subjective experience (pleasurable or repulsive)". AIs as pattern matching machines can do this pretty well by now. Coding, however, is a separate category, one where cold, hard logic reigns supreme. Code is not consumed to illicit a subjective response but to work, fullfil its job - which might explain the gap between these two.

Sounds like English film and television series music from the seventies (e.g. "All Creatures Great and Small"). It's nice and surprising (in that Suno was able to create it). But not "more beautiful than any song I have ever heard in my life, ever" ;-)

> more beautiful than any song I have ever heard in my life, ever.

There is no way this is an honest statement, unless this is the first song you've ever heard. I can only assume you're a bot from the marketing department at Suno.

Judgment and taste. I’ll still repeat those words. As a musician and music critic, you’ll spot the flaws in AI.

Great PR!
