I’m not a musician, so I used Suno to generate music, but I wrote the words. I’ve always had mixed feelings about veterans day. Love to hear any feedback. I also have a whole album of songs I’ve written about being a veteran that I can share if people like this. https://suno.com/song/df1c4e60-954e-4954-b407-3c94e04bf0c1

    Nobody cares about your AI slop. If you can’t be bothered to learn music, just stick to writing poems.

      Ok I’m gonna give a longer answer here than I probably should. Usually bullshit responses like this are best ignored, but this is actually something I’ve been thinking a lot about.

      Imo ai slop would be just asking chat gpt for lyrics and pressing go, I want to be honest about what I did and didn’t contribute here. I wrote every one of the lyrics and told Suno how to style it then went through a lot of iterations to get the sound I wanted.

      Feel free to read it as a poem if you prefer. Just don’t play the song, read the lyrics and be done. I think it’s better with music though. I spent a lot of time getting it to sound right. But I wanted honesty about what was and wasn’t me. I think this is the best approach because it lowers the bar for people to express their creativity while being clear where that creativity ends.

      There is a lot of ai slop out there. Just look at YouTube. I dislike it because it has no real substance. You can like my lyrics or not but they are written by a real human and have something real to say.

    IMO this is what happens when mods can’t restrict their community to subscribers only. Trolls cruise All to stir up shit in fora they don’t care about or even knew existed.

    Just don’t play the song,

    I couldn’t load/play it anyhow.

    So say “thank you for your service” Don’t you mind if they look nervous

    I always cringe internally at TYFYS but try not to show it or to appear ungrateful. I also avoid Free Food days like the plague.

    Your Facebook post proves you care

    In the early 90s when I support the troops bumperstickers were omnipresent I was known for ranting that “saying you support the troops is not the same as supporting the troops”.

    Mid-coffee ravings: IMO the best way to support the troops is

    • keep them out of harm’s way unless the country is under attack, or as part of an UN force if some other country is attacked.
    • actually declare war in the former case (we haven’t done this since WW2)
    • stop the blatant sexism of male-only selective service, or abolish it altogether in favor of mandatory national service for all young people 18-20.

    Seems to me if the rich and powerful had skin in the game they might be a little less cavalier with the lives of others.
