Suno, Udio, and the Generative Music Question

Suno can generate a full song from a text prompt in under ten seconds. That fact alone should make anyone building music tools stop and think.

[ PLACEHOLDER ]

This post is being written. The topics it will cover:

• What Suno and Udio actually are — and what they are not
• The difference between generating music and playing music
• Why tone as personal identity still matters in a generative world
• How tools like ToneKeep sit in relation to the generative wave
• The open question: does any of this threaten the guitarist?

Short answer: no. Longer answer: coming soon.
