I made a decision about AI songs.
They will not be eligible to win a Golden Kayak under any circumstances.

It's just something I thought we needed to do as a bit of a statement for those who are steadfastly organic songwriters.

An absolutely fair and reasonable decision, Scott.

I appreciate your willingness to give space on the site to AI-assisted songs. (-:

Just as a reminder Norm , I know i said this before i requested that any of my organic songs, like just me playing or with other collaborators not be included in the Kayak award nomination stations etc

thanks for your work and support as a station manager

Bryon,

I do my best not to put any of your songs on the Contenders stations.
I double check them once in a while to make sure.

Norm.

Not only do I support Scott's decision. I am happy as all hell! Why? Because...

Larree AI should be my avatar name when I play computer games. Larree AI should be my Mayor's name the next time I play Sim City! Suno, to me, is a computer game; A musical virtual world. Like Second Life. A game! And to many, Second Life is not a game. It can be quite real. And so is AI music. It is real for the people who believe it to be true. Maybe some people will be "huge stars" in AI music. A lot of people might dig it just enough to stream it, accept it as their favorite main title theme from a crappy TV show or movie, or whatever. It's the soundtrack of their lives. But eventually, the people will know they've been conned. Real music played by real people will win this game.
