Now that we have three different #AI Music generators, I wanted to give them a tricky test and compare the results. I'm totally not musical, so hopefully one of my followers will chime in to this thread with some musical theory criticism.

The prompt we'll be using today: "A comic operetta in the style of Victorian satirical comic operettas making fun of President Donald J Trump." We'll be leaving all other settings as default.

The things I'm looking for:
1. Does the song refer to recent events?
2. Can it follow my strong style instructions? I'm wanting something in the style of gilbert and Sullivan. But if I mention them directly, the AI's either refuse on copyright grounds, or generate endless bad versions of A Model of A Modern Major General.

Let's start with riffusion.com. It gave me a song called "Why won't they let me edit?" It's apparently about how Donald Trump wants to edit his wikipedia page. I'm not aware of this being a thing that happened, but it's possible I missed that? It starts off enough like an opera for my taste, but it quickly devolves into a kind of 2000's pop musical style. I give it 8/10 for topicality, and 5/10 for style. Link: www.riffusion.com/riff/40bbc4f8-c557-4bb4-9a95-1bbcb66c38de#riffusion

Next, we have #Suno. Unfortunately, it failed completely. You thought the other one was modern musical style? Suno created a song called "The Greatest Show on Earth" and spent most of its time praising Trump. I'm giving this 2/10 for topicality, and 0/10 for style. suno.com/song/f23e8e3e-2fa9-4d18-b3fc-546accace8e8

While we wait for Udio to finish, here's a bonus Riffusion generation. It calls this "The Very Model of a Modern Stable Genius". But uses the wrong tune and kind of forgets the song it's attempting to base this off of. www.riffusion.com/riff/d95a122e-b436-4b44-b730-ecc7e03a3844

And finally, here's #Udio! With "The Trumpet of Folly". You know what? I'm gonna give this 8/10 for style. It's pretty close! But only 5/10 for topical. This is pretty generic. www.udio.com/songs/kYNd5nrvVMwEZogimBQtoD

In conclusion, I think riffusion was best, by far. Udio sounded and styled better, but Riffusions lyrics were exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. What did you like best? Can you think of any services I missed?

@mcourcel A little riffusion tip for you. There's an unlabeled button above the "Create the music you imagine..." thing in the banner landmark. That's an upload button. You can extend or remix existing recordings! Uploading recordings that aren't actually songs is extra fun.
