"I used a prompt that was extremely simple to demonstrate how easy it is to generate pleasant sounding music with the simplest interface Suno provides."

I don't believe you understand what I was talking about or trying to do.

I know what Suno is. I know how it works. I know what Suno does.

My purpose in using Copilot was to test how creative it could be. I didn't want to simply ask Copilot questions. That's pointless. That's what AI is used for. I wanted to push the boundaries of what it was capable of generating so I picked something specific.

The test was to see if Copilot, not Suno, could create original music but within strict parameters. Hence I ask for something very specific; Music in the style of Bach's Aria from the Goldberg Variations.

My intent was not to create a new work by 'Bach'. My intent was to test the creative powers of Copilot.

Also, I was surprised how it was programmed to be helpful and encouraging. It acted like a friendly teacher guiding a student to learn on his own. At one point I wrote, "I can't do this" and the program responded with "Yes you can. I will help you." The program really wanted me to succeed and wouldn't let me quit. It's like it's programmed to be your best friend.

As for the example you shared in this response. It's very much in the style of Bach and Baroque music. In this case, Suno did a great job but I don't want new music by 'Bach' from either Copilot or Suno. I was simply testing Copilot.

I don’t believe you understand what I was talking about or trying to do.

I apologize. I am always trying to figure out the various strengths and weaknesses of different types of AI tools. I found your impressions and what you wrote about your experiments with co-pilot very interesting and illuminating. I had hoped you might enjoy discussing this subject further. I first started tinkering with Band-in-a-Box about 20 years ago and have been very excited about recent developments in AI Music creation.

Suno is the most popular AI music generation tool available currently and has been hit hard with lawsuits. But the truth is that professional musicians have now been using ever evolving similar tools since Band-in-Box was first introduced in 1990. At that time, it was more for generating accompaniments using chord progressions and also coming up with simple melodies, both in various genres and styles depending on the add-ons that you purchased.

Tonight I have been experimenting with Lyria 3 which is a music generation tool included in my Google AI Pro plan that is currently $2 a month for 3 months... It is more capable than I realized that it would be.
