## Bias Against AI Music

AI-generated music is often considered boring. However, 1010Benja's 'Semiramis’ Dream' breaks this stereotype. The song stands out with its jungle beats and prominent human vocals, challenging preconceived notions.

## A Different Use of Suno

Benja uses Suno differently from traditional methods. He records vocals first, feeds them into Suno, edits in Ableton, and then sends it back to Suno. This process is repeated hundreds of times to perfect the track.

## Ethical Debates

Benja acknowledges the environmental and ethical issues of AI. However, he states that financial constraints force him to use these tools. 'The good guy doesn’t win this one,' he summarizes the situation.

## The Artist's Struggles

Despite winning 'Best New Music' from Pitchfork, Benja still faces financial difficulties. He even admits to experiencing homelessness at times. This reveals the harsh realities behind AI usage in art.

## AI and Human Creativity

While 'Semiramis’ Dream' uses AI, Benja's creative vision is front and center. Most of the song is crafted by human effort, showing that AI can be a tool rather than a replacement for creativity.

## The Future of the Music Industry

Benja's work is a significant example of how AI can be used in the music industry. In the right hands, AI can move beyond being a boring tool and contribute meaningfully to creative processes.
