I’ve been experimenting with AI music tools recently, and ended up making something I didn’t expect: an 80s glam-metal parody song about software engineering chaos.
I wrote all the lyrics myself (“One Hot Feature”), fed them into Suno, and the model generated a surprisingly polished track — full vocals, instrumentation, arrangement, and mix. The whole thing took maybe 20 minutes end-to-end.
What surprised me most wasn’t the audio quality (which is good), but how well the model adapted to the tone, humor, and style. I didn’t prompt it with any melody — just the words — and it built a full composition around them.
Curious to hear what others think about the state of AI music generation, especially:
Are we heading toward “everyone can make a polished song”?
What does authorship look like here?
How do you all feel about AI generating new music in a distinct style?

Happy to answer questions about the process.
