1.) Sampling a real snare sound 2.) Suno generating a couple random snare hits for you to choose from
? There are ways to use it that aren't far-removed from how real producers work.
It's different to say "Generate me top-40 Sounding pop song"... But Suno has more uses than that.
Tweaking drum sounds until they sound good is one of the more satisfying activities for a beat producer, and one of the primary ways I demonstrate my value. I’m not paying to turn that over to someone else.
Is slop a function defined by the tool or the users level of effort in using it?
Once you add in a level of nuance, youre bickering about the degree which is far worse argument to be having, tactically.
The issue I raise is that we can critique the users of it without discarding the tool as used by an artist who produces something that is not slop with it.
