No one is upset about being able to generate stuff for personal use. They are upset by the industrial scale of dumping AI slop on platforms like Spotify that make it increasingly difficult to discover anything good anymore.

There is lots of good music still being created these days, but you'll never find it by just hitting next on streaming sites because 99% of the content had about 5 minutes of effort put in before being uploaded.

what if you create something that sounds good with suno? Wouldn't you want to share it?

No one is stopping you from sharing it. Bandcamp won't share it for you, and that's fair. Just like you're not willing to go shill for all my side-projects.

"Share" is a big ask. Why should anyone be bothered to listen to something you couldn't even be bothered to write?

Because it sounds good

A representative portion of the anti-AI crowd is against any use, even personal.
