Ok, someone explain the use case for this? Jingles? Making a song about your friend / sig other? Are people thinking they are going to sell these songs and create an AI artist?


I've summarized Supreme Court cases into Broadway musicals. The thing about memory is that novel input increases retention. So now I know about grouse hunting and explosives that fall off trains and their constitutional implications.

Another was a set of songs that helped me emotionally regulate on the drive home after couples therapy. The lyrics contained grounding exercises that helped maintain awareness and presence and contained mindfulness practices.

Both did their job, but they were also music for utility, not necessarily for artistic enjoyment. So it's not entirely an apples to apples comparison.


turning class notes into songs for study purposes sounds like genius. never wouldve thought of it, but i could definately see value. catchy 1950's style radio commercials advertising highlights of case law to remember for an exam coming up.


I think you've got a great app idea on your hands.

By the time I finish writing this comment - yours is 10 minutes old - someone will have vibe coded one, probably.

Also feels like an easy feature for someone like Suno to add, to help subscription retention.

But something like NotebookLM emphasizing subtle mnemonic devices set to music..


Marketing jingles for video ads.


people like to think they're successful but they don't like effort. So this will let them pretend they're artists.

Also, probably someone will game an algorithm to get revenue from a bajillion tracks of lofi slop.


Yep, I'm going to say the overwhelming use-case will be slop-4-revenue.

Slop is starting to dominate uploads to some music services, so I think it will only get worse from here
