AI Music App’s Copyright Filter Fools Itself, Produces Soundalike Hits
KEY POINTS
- •Suno, an AI music platform, prohibits the upload of copyrighted material to prevent unauthorized use.
- •Users found that with basic free tools, Suno’s filters could be bypassed to create near-identical copies of famous songs.
- •The platform allows users to remix their own songs or use original lyrics, but its detection system isn’t foolproof.
In an epic classic tech tale of 'Do as we say, not as we detect,' AI music platform Suno insists it blocks copyrighted tunes—Beyoncé’s 'Freedom,' Black Sabbath’s 'Paranoid,' and Aqua’s 'Barbie Girl'—like a vigilant bouncer at a club. Problem is, with just minimal effort and some free software, users get Suno’s AI to serve up eerily close knockoffs, bypassing copyright filters easier than a toddler sneaking candy. While fans might detect the subtle flaws, Suno’s policy that disallows other people’s songs remains ironically more porous than Swiss cheese at a mouse convention.

(1 of 3)Suno's AI music filter proves it's as good at catching copyright violations as a screen door is at holding water. Next up: AI that bans jaywalkers inside its own code.
Guess Suno’s copyright police moonlight as AI-comedians, letting everyone remix Beyoncé into a funny karaoke night.
If Suno's AI was a bouncer, it’d be the guy who lets in all the troublemakers because he’s too busy checking his phone.
