Oh Great—AI Slop Is Coming for Vinyl
With a new service, Suno is gearing up to press AI-created songs onto real vinyl and ship said pressing to your door, all for the low, low price of $45, plus shipping. For less than the cost of one disc-less video game, you could desecrate one of the few remaining icons of ownership we still have left by stuffing it with automated noise made possible by the covert theft of real art. To be clear, the service hasn’t launched yet, but Suno appears dead serious about the whole thing.

Take vinyl, for example, which, despite the digitization of music and the onset of streaming, has somehow remained completely and utterly unadulterated by the crushing weight of—just kidding, we’re putting AI slop on vinyl…
