alt Hacker NewsFor me it was Suno, not any of the coding tools. I prompted it to write a song about my family's little dog, told it a few things about the dog, and it came back with a K-pop-style anthem that had a super catchy melody and lyrics that made my wife and me laugh out loud.
Writing code to spec is one thing, but creating art was always supposed to be what separated us from machines. (I suppose I need to preemptively acknowledge the "it was machine-generated so by definition cannot be art" point of view.)
My sister's husband came over yesterday to show me photos if their recent travels. Normally it would be a boring slideshow of camper van trips to France and Aachen. Nowadays he produces a video with a tiny camera. All music self-produced with Suno, all videos professionally cut. And then he told me when he was invited to his local filmmaker association to lecture about the new AI assisted video making. Because of the old music all of his youtube videos got strikes, with Suno no more. Everybody can now produce videos easily. I even saw a totally AI generated doc about the Iran massacres made for $2000.
