Sure, but you also just disregarded a whole swath of people who use the tools/abstractions as a component of the composition of a final work. If I download a free vector of a premade sun to put into my final multimodal image, how is that any less authentic to me and my work? You feel like I cheated? Not how you would do it? This reminds me of when the film industry moved to digital and the pro associations said for contest submissions, first no digital at all, then it was ok for you to use digital post production but not a digital camera.

Obviously it's a sliding scale, but suno is allllll the way on one end. It's no more work than me contacting an artist and just asking him to write and produce me a song. I didn't do anything, I commissioned it.

I mean my camera has a full auto setting I don't use it that way, same with Suno, you can get the stems out of suno, you can gen just one instrument, just a sound, just an a cappella, I use it to gen things to put onto my OP1, does that count? This is My lyrics + Suno + OP1 + KOII + Abelton + 20hours or so?: https://soundcloud.com/john/golden

How is pointing a camera at something and taking a photo also considered art?

But that is allowed on bandcamp? It's not allowed if it's mostly done with AI.
