I honestly thought AI music was just a gimmick. Then I fed a basic, generic guitar loop into Suno AI, and what came back actually scared me.
In this video, I break down exactly how I used Suno to transform a simple input into a genre-bending song ("Have Mercy") that I never would have written myself. I walk you through the inputs, the surprising creative process, and the uncomfortable result that challenged my ego as a songwriter.
We need to talk about the quality of this output. Is this cheating? Is it "real" music? Or is this the most powerful tool musicians have ever seen?
