Suno AI can generate power ballads about coffee – and jingles for the Guardian. But will it hurt musicians?

Plug in some prompts and the ChatGPT for music' whips up a song in seconds - if you don't mind slightly silly lyrics

Heralded as the ChatGPT for music, Suno AI is the latest iteration of generative artificial intelligence to flood social feeds, wowing users with its (ahem) lyrical prowess.

Plug in the musical style you want, a genre and a prompt for lyrics and Suno can spit out a full song for you in a matter of seconds.

Coffee, you're my fuel for the soul (oh-oh)
Without you, I'm feeling so cold (feeling so cold)
Coffee, you ignite my fire within
With each sip, a brand new day begins (oh-oh-oh)

I'm watching you from the shadows of my mind
But you'll never know the feelings I hide
In these neon dreams I'm lost in the night
But my heart keeps hoping - maybe one day you'll be mine

From the shores of Sydney to Darwin's embrace
The stories we tell leave no room for disgrace
Investigative journalism, always on the go
Guardian Australia, letting truth flow
